Xconfig files contain settings that Exceed onDemand uses to configure the look and behavior of your X sessions. You can create any number of Xconfig files to accommodate different session requirements.
Xconfig file settings are grouped into categories. Each category of options is displayed on its own tabbed page in the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box.
The following table lists and describes X configuration option categories:
These settings let you configure your input deviceskeyboard and mouse. |

There are two types of Xconfig files:
GlobalThese Xconfig files are created, managed, and distributed exclusively by administrators. Exceed onDemand is installed with two global Xconfig files. One is the default file configured for passive startup and the other is the XDMCP Broadcast file. These files are available to all users the first time they connect to a host. Administrators can create additional global Xconfig files and make them available to users . All global Xconfig files reside on the Exceed onDemand Server or remote data store machine in the following location:
User-definedThese Xconfig files are created and/or managed by users. (User-defined Xconfig files also include Xconfig files that administrators create and distribute directly to specific users.) Only administrators can access, edit, and delete the Xconfig files of another user. All user Xconfig files reside on the Exceed onDemand Server or remote data store machine in the following location:
Note: |
Xconfig file names are case sensitive on UNIX servers. |
When starting a session from the Exceed onDemand Client dialog box, you can view a list of the Xconfig files that are available to you and select the one you want Exceed on Demand to use for the X session.
