the XF86Config file

The XF86Config file is located in /etc/X11/XF86Config. It can be

generated automatically or modified using SAM. A working

configuration file is also delivered on the system. You must be root to

create or edit this file. The XF86Config man page provides additional

information regarding the configuration file. It is necessary to re-start

the X Server for changes made to the XF86Config file to take effect.

the XF86Config file format

Most of the content in this section has been copied from the

XF86Config(5) man page listed on “The XFree86 Project, Inc.” web site

(http://www.xfree86.org). The man pages are available from

http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0

Config file keywords are case-insensitive, and underscore “_” characters

are ignored. Most strings (including Option names) are also

case-insensitive, and insensitive to white space and underscore “_”

characters.

Each config file entry usually takes up a single line in the file. They

consist of a keyword, which is possibly followed by one or more

arguments, with the number and types of the arguments depending on

the keyword. The argument types are:

• Integer - an integer number in decimal, hex or octal

• Real - a floating point number

• String - a string enclosed in double quote marks (“)

NOTE Hex integer values must be prefixed with “0x”, and octal values with “0”.

A special keyword called Option may be used to provide free-form data

to various components of the server. The Option keyword takes either

one or two string arguments. The first is the option name, and the

optional second argument is the option value. Some commonly used

option value types include:

• Integer - an integer number in decimal, hex or octal

• Real - a floating point number
