xorgconfig(1)xorgconfig(1)NAME
xorgconfig, xorgcfg - generate an xorg.conf file
DESCRIPTION
The xorgcfg(1) and xorgconfig(1) utilities for generating xorg.conf(4)
files are no longer included in this release.
The Xorg(1) server does not require a configuration file in many cases,
and will autoconfigure itself if one is not present. If the default
configuration does not meet your needs, you may use one of these alter‐
native methods to generate an xorg.conf file for customization:
* When Xorg is started without a configuration file, the xorg.conf
data it generates automatically is logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and may be copied to an xorg.conf file for customization.
* /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure, when the server is not already
running, will provide a sample configuration file for the cur‐
rently detected hardware in the system.
* Users of Nvidia graphics devices may use the provided nvidia-
settings(1) and nvidia-xconfig(1) utilities to generate or
update device-specific configurations.
* Users of Sun graphics devices for the SPARC platform may use the
fbconfig(1) utility to generate or update device-specific con‐
figurations.
Input device settings formerly found in xorg.conf have in most cases
been replaced by settings made via the hal(5) configuration framework
in fdi(4) configuration files.
