sax2(1)                       Utils for X-Window                       sax2(1)



NAME
       SaX2  -  SuSE  advanced  X11 configuration, a complete module based X11
       configurator


SYNOPSIS
       sax2 [ options ]


DESCRIPTION
       SaX2 is a program to configure the  X-Server.  It  is  able  to  detect
       almost  all  stuff  related  to  the  graphics card. The graphics card,
       Touchscreens, Tablets, 3D features, AccessX,  Keyboard,  Mouse,  Multi-
       head, ... and more can be configured using this tool.


COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       Available command line options are the following:

       -b [filename,filename,...]
              Activate the SaX2 batch modus. If no filename is given an inter-
              active shell is started to set/overwrite  configuration  parame-
              ters.  If  the  filename  doesn't contain any / characters it is
              assumed to be found in /usr/share/sax/profile.

       -b Xinerama | MergedFB
              Special call for -b, if Xinerama is specified SaX2 will automat-
              ically  search  for a profile to enable dualhead in old Xinerama
              style. If MergedFB is specified SaX2 will  automatically  search
              for  a dualhead profile to activate dualhead using merged frame-
              buffer.

       -a     Auto configure modus. Create an automatic configuration  without
              any needed user interaction and GUI.

       -l     Enable low resolution. Allow only the 800x600 resolution for the
              graphics setup. This is usefull if the DDC probing of the  moni-
              tor results in not displayable resolution values.

       -m card X=module,card X=module,...
              Set  driver  module to use for card X You can specify one driver
              module for each card detected.

       -c chip,chip,...
              Set chip to use for configuration. The -p option show all avail-
              able chip numbers and you can select the one you want to use for
              the configuration.

       -d display-number
              Set the display manually instead of probing the next  free  one.
              This is only usefull if SaX2 was started from a text console.

       -x     Use  server build in Modelines. This will prevent SaX2 from cal-
              culating its own modelines. The server build  in  mode  pool  is
              used  instead.   This  will only work for VESA specified resolu-
              tions.

       -u     Use server mode suggestion. This will prevent SaX2 from suggest-
              ing  a  resolution used for the configuration. The server itself
              will decide the best resolution to use than.

       -p     Show PCI/AGP information about the detected graphics card(s)

       -n node
              Set device node to use for the core pointer. This  will  specify
              the  port  the  mouse  is  connected  to.  For  serial  mice use
              /dev/ttySX where X is the port number of the serial device,  for
              USB  devices  use  /dev/input/mice  and  for  PS/2  devices  use
              /dev/psaux.

       -t type
              Set protocol type to use for the core pointer. If  you  are  not
              sure about the protocol your mouse understand please have a look
              at: /usr/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse

       -g     Use gpm as repeater of mouse events.

       -s     This option only takes effect if SaX2 has to start  its  own  X-
              Server.   It  will  than  use  the  system installed config file
              instead of the HW detection data.

       --vesa This option will set a given resolution and vertical sync  value
              (in  Hz)  as  VESA  standard resolution for a specific card. The
              format is the following: Card:XxY@VSync Example: 0:1024x768@85

       --sysconfig
              this option tell SaX2 to import the system wide config file even
              if SaX2 was started from a textconsole which normaly will import
              the SaX2 HW detection data

       --fullscreen
              start in fullscreen mode

       -i     This option will disable the use of profiles which are  normally
              applied automatically if defined for a specifc card or chipset

       -r     Remove detection database and re-init the hardware database

       -v     print version information and exit.
