VcXsrv Device Dependent Usage:

-[no]clipboard
	Enable [disable] the clipboard integration. Default is enabled.
-noprimary
	Do not map the PRIMARY selection to the windows clipboard.
	The CLIPBOARD selection is always mapped if -clipboard is enabled.
	Default is mapped.
-clipupdates num_boxes
	Use a clipping region to constrain shadow update blits to
	the updated region when num_boxes, or more, are in the
	updated region.  Diminished effect on current Windows
	versions because they already group GDI operations together
	in a batch, which has a similar effect.
-[no]compositewm
	Enable [Disable] Composite extension. Default is enabled.
	Used in -multiwindow mode.
	Use Composite extension redirection to maintain a bitmap
	image of each top-level X window, so window contents which
	are occluded show correctly in Taskbar and Task Switcher
	previews.
-[no]compositealpha
	X windows with per-pixel alpha are composited into the Windows desktop.
-[no]compositewm
	Use the Composite extension to keep a bitmap image of each top-level
	X window, so window contents which are occluded show correctly in
	task bar and task switcher previews.
-depth bits_per_pixel
	Specify an optional bitdepth to use in fullscreen mode
	with a DirectDraw engine.
-[no]emulate3buttons [timeout]
	Emulate 3 button mouse with an optional timeout in
	milliseconds.
-engine engine_type_id
	Override the server's automatically selected engine type:
		1 - Shadow GDI
		4 - Shadow DirectDraw4 Non-Locking
-fullscreen
	Run the server in fullscreen mode.
-[no]hostintitle
	In multiwindow mode, add remote host names to window titles.
-icon icon_specifier
	Set screen window icon in windowed mode.
-ignoreinput
	Ignore keyboard and mouse input.
-[no]keyhook
	Grab special Windows keypresses like Alt-Tab or the Menu key.
-lesspointer
	Hide the windows mouse pointer when it is over any
	VcXsrv window.  This prevents ghost cursors appearing when
	the Windows cursor is drawn on top of the X cursor
-logfile filename
	Write log messages to <filename>.
-logverbose verbosity
	Set the verbosity of log messages. [NOTE: Only a few messages
	respect the settings yet]
		0 - only print fatal error.
		1 - print additional configuration information.
		2 - print additional runtime information [default].
		3 - print debugging and tracing information.
-[no]multimonitors or -[no]multiplemonitors
	Use the entire virtual screen if multiple
	monitors are present.
-multiwindow
	Run the server in multiwindow mode.  Not to be used
	together with -rootless or -fullscreen.
-nodecoration
	Do not draw a window border, title bar, etc.  Windowed
	mode only i.e. ignored when -fullscreen specified.
-nounicodeclipboard
	Disable Unicode in the clipboard.
-[no]primary
	When clipboard integration is enabled, map the X11 PRIMARY selection
	to the Windows clipboard. Default is enabled.
-refresh rate_in_Hz
	Specify an optional refresh rate to use in fullscreen mode
	with a DirectDraw engine.
-resize=none|scrollbars|randr
	In windowed mode, [don't] allow resizing of the window. 'scrollbars'
	mode gives the window scrollbars as needed, 'randr' mode uses the RANR
	extension to resize the X screen.  'randr' is the default.
-rootless
	Use a transparent root window with an external window
	manager (such as openbox).  Not to be used with
	-multiwindow or with -fullscreen.
-screen scr_num [width height [x y] | [[WxH[+X+Y]][@m]] ]
	Enable screen scr_num and optionally specify a width and
	height and initial position for that screen. Additionally
	a monitor number can be specified to start the server on,
	at which point, all coordinates become relative to that
	monitor. Examples:
	 -screen 0 800x600+100+100@2 ; 2nd monitor offset 100,100 size 800x600
	 -screen 0 1024x768@3        ; 3rd monitor size 1024x768
	 -screen 0 @1 ; on 1st monitor using its full resolution (the default)
-swcursor
	Disable the usage of the Windows cursor and use the X11 software
	cursor instead.
-[no]trayicon
	Do not create a notification area icon.  Default is to create
	one icon per screen.  You can globally disable notification area
	icons with -notrayicon, then enable them for specific screens
	with -trayicon for those screens.

-[no]winkill
	Alt+F4 exits the X Server.
-xkblayout XKBLayout
	Set the layout to use for XKB.  This defaults to a layout
	matching your current layout from Windows or us (i.e. USA)
	if no matching layout was found.
	For example: -xkblayout de
-xkbmodel XKBModel
	Set the model to use for XKB.  This defaults to pc105.
-xkboptions XKBOptions
	Set the options to use for XKB.  This defaults to not set.
-xkbrules XKBRules
