   * ''windowwidth=[n-nnn]'' - this is only available in MiniDesktop mode. It allows you to set the width of the X2GoClient login window (which gets moved and resized to the right side of your screen during session startup) to any value between 0 and 100. Note that widths smaller than 30 are not recommended and may cause further resizing once the session starts.
   * ''x3270servers="host[:port][|host[:port]...]"'' - this is only available in MiniDesktop mode. It allows you to specify one or more hosts (with optional ports) for x3270 terminal emulation sessions that will be created as desktop shortcuts on the thinclient. For a default 3270 connection, the port is 23 (telnet) and does not need to be specified. For an SSL-encrypted connection (recommended), the port is 992. Hosts may be IP addresses or DNS names, and need to be separated with a ''|''.

Note that x5250 support is currently not part of the standard image available via git, as there is no x5250 executable in Debian. You can try using x3270 instead, most modern IBM i (System i, iSeries, AS/400) systems support 3270-type connections as well. If you need native 5250 support, say, with a commercial, closed-source 5250 terminal emulator, please leave a message on the X2Go-User Mailing List and we'll tell you if and how you can integrate that into your build.

+    * If you need native 5250 support, say, with a commercial, closed-source 5250 terminal emulator, you can create a directory structure ''patch-minidesktop/usr/bin/'' and place your executable there; the build script will pick up on that and copy all files from ''patch-minidesktop'' into the live image.
   * ''xinerama=left-of|right-of|above|below|same-as'' - Allows you to specify how multiple screens are handled (same-as clones the primary screen to all secondary screens, the other commands will cascade and thus expand the screen). Note that the current implementation will enforce "same-as" if it detects a touch screen driver (wacom) and no other pointing device. This is so you won't get stuck being unable to log off, for example, due to your touch device being limited to one screen.
   * ''xorg-driver=DRIVERNAME'' - will skip graphics driver autodetection and force the specified driver instead. This is a standard parameter of live-boot, and not specific to X2Go.
