NAME

       xorgcfg - Graphical configuration tool for Xorg


SYNOPSIS

       xorgcfg	[-config configfile] [-modulepath moduledir] [-fontpath fonts-
       dir] [-toolkitoption ...]


DESCRIPTION

       Xorgcfg is a tool to configure Xorg, and can be used  to  either  write
       the  initial  configuration  file or make customizations to the current
       configuration.

       When the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, xorgcfg will run  the
       command	Xorg -configure to allow the xserver to detect the hardware in
       the computer, and write an initial xorg.conf file in  the  user's  home
       directory. Then, it will start Xorg and allow customizations.

       If  the	DISPLAY  environment  variable	is  set, xorgcfg will read the
       default xorg.conf, which may or may not be the one being  used  by  the
       current server, and allow customizations.

       To  use	an  alternative  location  for modules or fonts the respective
       search paths may be specified.

       Unless there is an Apply button in  the	current  xorgcfg  dialog,  the
       changes made will take place the next time Xorg is started.

       Xorgcfg allows addition and configuration of new devices, such as video
       cards, monitors, keyboards and mouses.

       Screen layout configuration for xinerama or traditional	multi-head  is
       also available.

       Modelines can be configured or optimized.

       AccessX	basic configurations can be made in the xorgcfg's accessx sec-
       tion.



OPTIONS

       -config Specifies an alternate xorg.conf file for configuration.

       -modulepath
	       Specifies where xorgcfg, and the server it  may	start,	should
	       look for Xorg modules.

       -serverpath
	       Specifies  the complete path, not including the binary name, of
	       the Xorg binary.

       -fontpath
	       Specifies the path to the fonts that  should  be  used  by  the
	       server started by xorgcfg.

       -rgbpath
	       Specifies  the  path to the rgb.txt file that should be used by
	       the server started by xorgcfg, if any.

       -textmode
	       If xorgcfg was compiled with support for ncurses,  this	option
	       makes xorgcfg enter a text mode interface.

       -nomodules
	       When  built  with  support  for	loading  modules, this options
	       changes xorgcfg behaviour, so that it will not  load  any  mod-
	       ules, and thus start quicker.
