    25 .SH NAME

    26 .PP

    27 xorgconfig, xorgcfg \- generate an xorg.conf file

    28 .SH DESCRIPTION

    29 .PP

    30 The

    31 .BR xorgcfg (1)

    32 and

    33 .BR xorgconfig (1)

    34 utilities for generating

    35 .BR xorg.conf (4)

    36 files are no longer included in this release.

    37 .PP

    38 The

    39 .BR Xorg (1)

    40 server does not require a configuration file in many cases,

    41 and will autoconfigure itself if one is not present.  If the

    42 default configuration does not meet your needs, you may use one of

    43 these alternative methods to generate an xorg.conf file for

    44 customization:

    45 .IP " * "

    46 When Xorg is started without a configuration file, the xorg.conf

    47 data it generates automatically is logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

    48 and may be copied to an xorg.conf file for customization.

    49 .IP " * "

    50 /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure, when the server is not already running,

    51 will provide a sample configuration file for the currently detected

    52 hardware in the system.

    53 .IP " * "

    54 Users of Nvidia graphics devices may use the provided

    55 .BR nvidia-settings (1)

    56 and

    57 .BR nvidia-xconfig (1)

    58 utilities to generate or update device-specific configurations.

    59 .IP " * "

    60 Users of Sun graphics devices for the SPARC platform may use the

    61 .BR fbconfig (1)

    62 utility to generate or update device-specific

    63 configurations.

    64 .PP

    65 Input device settings formerly found in xorg.conf have in most cases

    66 been replaced by settings made via the

    67 .BR hal (5)

    68 configuration framework in

    69 .BR fdi (4)

    70 configuration files.

    71 .SH FILES
