The page does only describe the options that are specific to XWin. The
default parameters are described in the Xserver manpage.

It does. But the output is redirected to /tmp/XWin.log
Maybe this should be added to the options page in the users-guide.

Is this the host where xfree is running? I think these entries are added

If this is the host where xwin is running, then you can ignore these entries.
