.SH NAME
.PP
xorgconfig, xorgcfg \- generate an xorg.conf file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.BR xorgcfg (1)
and
.BR xorgconfig (1)
utilities for generating
.BR xorg.conf (5)
files are no longer included in this release.
.PP
The
.BR 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 alternative methods to generate an xorg.conf file for
customization:
.IP " * "
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.
.IP " * "
/usr/bin/Xorg -configure, when the server is not already running,
will provide a sample configuration file for the currently detected
hardware in the system.
.IP " * "
Users of Nvidia graphics devices may use the provided
.BR nvidia-settings (1)
and
.BR nvidia-xconfig (1)
utilities to generate or update device-specific configurations.
.IP " * "
Users of Sun graphics devices for the SPARC platform may use the
.BR fbconfig (1)
utility to generate or update device-specific
configurations.
