NAME

       uxlaunch - program to start the X desktop

SYNOPSIS

       uxlaunch [OPTIONS] [-- SESSION]

DESCRIPTION

       uxlaunch  is  a  program  that  initiates  the  X  server  and  desktop
       environment. It starts the main component of the desktop up as soon  as
       the  X server is ready and relies on autostart .desktop files for other
       applications to be started. uxlaunch Was designed to start  the  Moblin
       desktop  but can launch Gnome, Xfce and other desktop sessions as well.

OPTIONS

       -u [USERNAME], --user=[USERNAME]
               specify an alternative user to start the desktop session as. By
               default, uxlaunch will use the first user accound found through
               various tests, or the user "meego" if none valid is found.

       -s [SESSION], --session=[SESSION]
               specify an alternative session to start. This overrides the
               default session (Moblin) and attempts to start [SESSION]
               instead.

       -t [TTY], --tty=[TTY]
               Specify to use tty [TTY] instead of tty2 to run the X server
               on.

       -v, --verbose
               Display more information on stderr. All messages go to the
               logfile (/var/log/uxlaunch.log) in any case.

       -h, --help
               Display terse usage information.
               show the help message.
