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.
