If you run

.I XEmacs
can be started with the following standard X options:
.TP
+.BI \-visual " <visualname><bitdepth>"
+Select the visual that XEmacs will attempt to use.
+.I <visualname>
+should be one of the strings "StaticColor", "TrueColor", "GrayScale",
+"PseudoColor" or "DirectColor", and
+.I <bitdepth>
+should be the number of bits per pixel (example, "-visual TrueColor24"
+for a 24bit TrueColor visual) See
+.IR X (1)
+for more information.
+.TP
+.B -privateColormap
+Require XEmacs to create and use a private colormap for display. This
+will keep XEmacs from taking colors from the default colormap and
+keeping them from other clients, at the cost of causing annoying
+flicker when the focus changes. Use this option only if your X server
+does not support 24 bit visuals.
+.TP
.BI \-geometry " ##x##+##+##"
Specify the geometry of the initial window. The ##'s represent a number;
the four numbers are width (characters), height (characters), X offset
