-.SH NAME
-__xservername__ - X11R7 X server
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B __xservername__
-.RI [\fB:\fP display ]
-.RI [ option
-.IR ... ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B __xservername__
-is a full featured X server that was originally designed for UNIX and
-UNIX-like operating systems running on Intel x86 hardware. It now runs
-on a wider range of hardware and OS platforms.
-.PP
-This work was derived by the X.Org Foundation from the XFree86 Project's
-.I "XFree86\ 4.4rc2"
-release.
-The XFree86 release was originally derived from
-.I "X386\ 1.2"
-by Thomas Roell which was contributed to X11R5 by Snitily Graphics
-Consulting Service.
-.SH PLATFORMS
-.PP
-.B __xservername__
-operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware platforms.
-The Intel x86 (IA32) architecture is the most widely supported hardware
-platform. Other hardware platforms include Compaq Alpha, Intel IA64, AMD64,
-SPARC and PowerPC. The most widely supported operating systems are the
-free/OpenSource UNIX-like systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
-OpenBSD, and Solaris. Commercial UNIX operating systems such as
-UnixWare are also supported. Other supported operating systems include
-GNU Hurd. Mac OS X is supported with the
-Xquartz(__appmansuffix__) X server. Win32/Cygwin is supported with the
-XWin(__appmansuffix__) X server.
-.PP
-.SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"
-.B __xservername__
-supports connections made using the following reliable
-byte-streams:
-.TP 4
-.I "Local"
-On most platforms, the "Local" connection type is a UNIX-domain socket.
-On some System V platforms, the "local" connection types also include
-STREAMS pipes, named pipes, and some other mechanisms.
-.TP 4
-.I TCP\/IP
-.B __xservername__
-listens on port
-.RI 6000+ n ,
-where
-.I n
-is the display number. This connection type can be disabled with the
-.B \-nolisten
-option (see the Xserver(1) man page for details).
-.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
-For operating systems that support local connections other than Unix
-Domain sockets (SVR3 and SVR4), there is a compiled-in list specifying
-the order in which local connections should be attempted. This list
-can be overridden by the
-.I XLOCAL
-environment variable described below. If the display name indicates a
-best-choice connection should be made (e.g.
-.BR :0.0 ),
-each connection mechanism is tried until a connection succeeds or no
-more mechanisms are available. Note: for these OSs, the Unix Domain
-socket connection is treated differently from the other local connection
-types. To use it the connection must be made to
-.BR unix:0.0 .
-.PP
-The
-.I XLOCAL
-environment variable should contain a list of one more
-more of the following:
-.PP
-.RS 8
-.nf
-NAMED
-PTS
-SCO
-ISC
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-which represent SVR4 Named Streams pipe, Old-style USL Streams pipe,
-SCO XSight Streams pipe, and ISC Streams pipe, respectively. You can
-select a single mechanism (e.g.
-.IR XLOCAL=NAMED ),
-or an ordered list (e.g. \fIXLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"\fP).
-his variable overrides the compiled-in defaults. For SVR4 it is
-recommended that
-.I NAMED
-be the first preference connection. The default setting is
-.IR PTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO .
-.PP
-To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and
-export if using
-.B sh
-or
-.BR ksh )
-.I XLOCAL
-globally. If you use startx(1) or xinit(1), the definition should be
-at the top of your
-.I .xinitrc
-file. If you use xdm(1), the definitions should be early on in the
-.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
-script.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.B __xservername__
-supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
-run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) configuration files, auto-detection, and
-fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more than
-one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. The list of mechanisms
-is ordered from highest precedence to lowest. Note that not all parameters
-can be supplied via all methods. The available command line options
-and environment variables (and some defaults) are described here and in
-the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page. Most configuration file
-parameters, with their defaults, are described in the
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page. Driver and module specific
-configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver or module
-manual page.
-.PP
-In addition to the normal server options described in the
-Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page,
-.B __xservername__
-accepts the following command line switches:
-.TP 8
-.BI vt XX
-.I XX
-specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which
-.B __xservername__
-will use. Without this option,
-.B __xservername__
-will pick the first available Virtual Terminal that it can locate. This
-option applies only to platforms that have virtual terminal support, such
-as Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris, SVR3, and SVR4.
-.TP
-.B \-allowMouseOpenFail
-Allow the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened
-or initialised. This is equivalent to the
-.B AllowMouseOpenFail
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B \-allowNonLocalXvidtune
-Make the VidMode extension available to remote clients. This allows
-the xvidtune client to connect from another host. This is equivalent
-to the
-.B AllowNonLocalXvidtune
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option. By default non-local
-connections are not allowed.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-bgamma " value"
-Set the blue gamma correction.
-.I value
-must be between 0.1 and 10.
-The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support this. See also the
-.BR \-gamma ,
-.BR \-rgamma ,
-and
-.B \-ggamma
-options.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-bpp " n"
-No longer supported. Use
-.B \-depth
-to set the color depth, and use
-.B \-fbbpp
-if you really need to force a non-default framebuffer (hardware) pixel
-format.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-config " file"
-Read the server configuration from
-.IR file .
-This option will work for any file when the server is run as root (i.e,
-with real-uid 0), or for files relative to a directory in the config
-search path for all other users.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-configdir " directory"
-Read the server configuration files from
-.IR directory .
-This option will work for any directory when the server is run as root
-(i.e, with real-uid 0), or for directories relative to a directory in the
-config directory search path for all other users.
-.TP 8
-.B \-configure
-When this option is specified, the
-.B __xservername__
-server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware,
-and writes out an initial __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file based on
-what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some
-platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the
-configuration process. This option is only available when the server
-is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
-.TP 8
-.BI "\-crt /dev/tty" XX
-SCO only. This is the same as the
-.B vt
-option, and is provided for compatibility with the native SCO X server.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-depth " n"
-Sets the default color depth. Legal values are 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, and
-24. Not all drivers support all values.
-.TP 8
-.B \-disableVidMode
-Disable the parts of the VidMode extension (used by the xvidtune
-client) that can be used to change the video modes. This is equivalent
-to the
-.B DisableVidModeExtension
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B \-fbbpp \fIn\fP
-Sets the number of framebuffer bits per pixel. You should only set this
-if you're sure it's necessary; normally the server can deduce the correct
-value from
-.B \-depth
-above. Useful if you want to run a depth 24 configuration with a 24
-bpp framebuffer rather than the (possibly default) 32 bpp framebuffer
-(or vice versa). Legal values are 1, 8, 16, 24, 32. Not all drivers
-support all values.
-.TP 8
-.B \-flipPixels
-Swap the default values for the black and white pixels.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-gamma " value"
-Set the gamma correction.
-.I value
-must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. This value is applied
-equally to the R, G and B values. Those values can be set independently
-with the
-.BR \-rgamma ,
-.BR \-bgamma ,
-and
-.B \-ggamma
-options. Not all drivers support this.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-ggamma " value"
-Set the green gamma correction.
-.I value
-must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support
-this. See also the
-.BR \-gamma ,
-.BR \-rgamma ,
-and
-.B \-bgamma
-options.
-.TP 8
-.B \-ignoreABI
-The
-.B __xservername__
-server checks the ABI revision levels of each module that it loads. It
-will normally refuse to load modules with ABI revisions that are newer
-than the server's. This is because such modules might use interfaces
-that the server does not have. When this option is specified, mismatches
-like this are downgraded from fatal errors to warnings. This option
-should be used with care.
-.TP 8
-.B \-isolateDevice \fIbus\-id\fP
-Restrict device resets to the device at
-.IR bus\-id .
-The
-.I bus\-id
-string has the form
-.IB bustype : bus : device : function
-(e.g., \(oqPCI:1:0:0\(cq).
-At present, only isolation of PCI devices is supported; i.e., this option
-is ignored if
-.I bustype
-is anything other than \(oqPCI\(cq.
-.TP 8
-.B \-keeptty
-Prevent the server from detaching its initial controlling terminal.
-This option is only useful when debugging the server. Not all platforms
-support (or can use) this option.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-keyboard " keyboard-name"
-Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
-.B InputDevice
-section called
-.I keyboard-name
-as the core keyboard. This option is ignored when the
-.B Layout
-section specifies a core keyboard. In the absence of both a Layout
-section and this option, the first relevant
-.B InputDevice
-section is used for the core keyboard.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-layout " layout-name"
-Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
-.B Layout
-section called
-.IR layout-name .
-By default the first
-.B Layout
-section is used.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-logfile " filename"
-Use the file called
-.I filename
-as the
-.B __xservername__
-server log file. The default log file is
-.BI __logdir__/__xservername__. n .log
-on most platforms, where
-.I n
-is the display number of the
-.B __xservername__
-server. The default may be in a different directory on some platforms.
-This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with
-real-uid 0).
-.TP 8
-.BR \-logverbose " [\fIn\fP]"
-Sets the verbosity level for information printed to the
-.B __xservername__
-server log file. If the
-.I n
-value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the log
-file verbosity level. When the
-.I n
-value is supplied, the log file verbosity level is set to that value.
-The default log file verbosity level is 3.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-modulepath " searchpath"
-Set the module search path to
-.IR searchpath .
-.I searchpath
-is a comma separated list of directories to search for
-.B __xservername__
-server modules. This option is only available when the server is run
-as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
-.TP 8
-.B \-nosilk
-Disable Silken Mouse support.
-.TP 8
-.B \-pixmap24
-Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 24 bits per pixel.
-The default is usually 32 bits per pixel. There is normally little
-reason to use this option. Some client applications don't like this
-pixmap format, even though it is a perfectly legal format. This is
-equivalent to the
-.B Pixmap
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B \-pixmap32
-Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 32 bits per pixel.
-This is usually the default. This is equivalent to the
-.B Pixmap
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-pointer " pointer-name"
-Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
-.B InputDevice
-section called
-.I pointer-name
-as the core pointer. This option is ignored when the
-.B Layout
-section specifies a core pointer. In the absence of both a Layout
-section and this option, the first relevant
-.B InputDevice
-section is used for the core pointer.
-.TP 8
-.B \-quiet
-Suppress most informational messages at startup. The verbosity level
-is set to zero.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-rgamma " value"
-Set the red gamma correction.
-.I value
-must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support
-this. See also the
-.BR \-gamma ,
-.BR \-bgamma ,
-and
-.B \-ggamma
-options.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-screen " screen-name"
-Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
-.B Screen
-section called
-.IR screen-name .
-By default the screens referenced by the default
-.B Layout
-section are used, or the first
-.B Screen
-section when there are no
-.B Layout
-sections.
-.TP 8
-.B \-showconfig
-This is the same as the
-.B \-version
-option, and is included for compatibility reasons. It may be removed
-in a future release, so the
-.B \-version
-option should be used instead.
-.TP 8
-.B \-showDefaultModulePath
-Print out the default module path the server was compiled with.
-.TP 8
-.B \-showDefaultLibPath
-Print out the path libraries should be installed to.
-.TP 8
-.B \-showopts
-For each driver module installed, print out the list of options and their
-argument types.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-weight " nnn"
-Set RGB weighting at 16 bpp. The default is 565. This applies only to
-those drivers which support 16 bpp.
-.TP 8
-.BR \-verbose " [\fIn\fP]"
-Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr. If the
-.I n
-value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the
-verbosity level. When the
-.I n
-value is supplied, the verbosity level is set to that value. The default
-verbosity level is 0.
-.TP 8
-.B \-version
-Print out the server version, patchlevel, release date, the operating
-system/platform it was built on, and whether it includes module loader
-support.
-.SH "KEYBOARD"
-.PP
-The
-.B __xservername__
-server is normally configured to recognize various special combinations
-of key presses that instruct the server to perform some action, rather
-than just sending the key press event to a client application. These actions
-depend on the XKB keymap loaded by a particular keyboard device and may or
-may not be available on a given configuration.
-.PP
-The following key combinations are commonly part of the default XKEYBOARD
-keymap.
-.TP 8
-.B Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
-Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. It can be disabled by
-setting the
-.B DontZap
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option to a TRUE value.
-.PP
-.RS 8
-It should be noted that zapping is triggered by the
-.B Terminate_Server
-action in the keyboard map. This action is not part of the default keymaps
-but can be enabled with the XKB option
-.B \*qterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp\*q.
-.RE
-.TP 8
-.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
-Change video mode to next one specified in the configuration file.
-This can be disabled with the
-.B DontZoom
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus
-Change video mode to previous one specified in the configuration file.
-This can be disabled with the
-.B DontZoom
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12
-For systems with virtual terminal support, these keystroke
-combinations are used to switch to virtual terminals 1 through 12,
-respectively. This can be disabled with the
-.B DontVTSwitch
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-.B __xservername__
-typically uses a configuration file called
-.B __xconfigfile__
-and configuration files with the suffix
-.I .conf
-in a directory called
-.B __xconfigdir__
-for its initial setup.
-Refer to the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page for information
-about the format of this file.
-.PP
-.B __xservername__
-has a mechanism for automatically generating a built-in configuration
-at run-time when no
-.B __xconfigfile__
-file or
-.B __xconfigdir__
-files are present. The current version of this automatic configuration
-mechanism works in two ways.
-.PP
-The first is via enhancements that have made many components of the
-.B __xconfigfile__
-file optional. This means that information that can be probed or
-reasonably deduced doesn't need to be specified explicitly, greatly
-reducing the amount of built-in configuration information that needs to
-be generated at run-time.
-.PP
-The second is to have "safe" fallbacks for most configuration information.
-This maximises the likelihood that the
-.B __xservername__
-server will start up in some usable configuration even when information
-about the specific hardware is not available.
-.PP
-The automatic configuration support for __xservername__ is work in progress.
-It is currently aimed at the most popular hardware and software platforms
-supported by __xservername__. Enhancements are planned for future releases.
-.SH FILES
-The
-.B __xservername__
-server config files can be found in a range of locations. These are
-documented fully in the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page. The
-most commonly used locations are shown here.

+.SH NAME
+__xservername__ - X11R7 X server
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B __xservername__
+.RI [\fB:\fP display ]
+.RI [ option
+.IR ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B __xservername__
+is a full featured X server that was originally designed for UNIX and
+UNIX-like operating systems running on Intel x86 hardware. It now runs
+on a wider range of hardware and OS platforms.
+.PP
+This work was derived by the X.Org Foundation from the XFree86 Project's
+.I "XFree86\ 4.4rc2"
+release.
+The XFree86 release was originally derived from
+.I "X386\ 1.2"
+by Thomas Roell which was contributed to X11R5 by Snitily Graphics
+Consulting Service.
+.SH PLATFORMS
+.PP
+.B __xservername__
+operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware platforms.
+The Intel x86 (IA32) architecture is the most widely supported hardware
+platform. Other hardware platforms include Compaq Alpha, Intel IA64, AMD64,
+SPARC and PowerPC. The most widely supported operating systems are the
+free/OpenSource UNIX-like systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
+OpenBSD, and Solaris. Commercial UNIX operating systems such as
+UnixWare are also supported. Other supported operating systems include
+GNU Hurd. Mac OS X is supported with the
+Xquartz(__appmansuffix__) X server. Win32/Cygwin is supported with the
+XWin(__appmansuffix__) X server.
+.PP
+.SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"
+.B __xservername__
+supports connections made using the following reliable
+byte-streams:
+.TP 4
+.I "Local"
+On most platforms, the "Local" connection type is a UNIX-domain socket.
+On some System V platforms, the "local" connection types also include
+STREAMS pipes, named pipes, and some other mechanisms.
+.TP 4
+.I TCP\/IP
+.B __xservername__
+listens on port
+.RI 6000+ n ,
+where
+.I n
+is the display number. This connection type can be disabled with the
+.B \-nolisten
+option (see the Xserver(1) man page for details).
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+For operating systems that support local connections other than Unix
+Domain sockets (SVR3 and SVR4), there is a compiled-in list specifying
+the order in which local connections should be attempted. This list
+can be overridden by the
+.I XLOCAL
+environment variable described below. If the display name indicates a
+best-choice connection should be made (e.g.
+.BR :0.0 ),
+each connection mechanism is tried until a connection succeeds or no
+more mechanisms are available. Note: for these OSs, the Unix Domain
+socket connection is treated differently from the other local connection
+types. To use it the connection must be made to
+.BR unix:0.0 .
+.PP
+The
+.I XLOCAL
+environment variable should contain a list of one more
+more of the following:
+.PP
+.RS 8
+.nf
+NAMED
+PTS
+SCO
+ISC
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+which represent SVR4 Named Streams pipe, Old-style USL Streams pipe,
+SCO XSight Streams pipe, and ISC Streams pipe, respectively. You can
+select a single mechanism (e.g.
+.IR XLOCAL=NAMED ),
+or an ordered list (e.g. \fIXLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"\fP).
+his variable overrides the compiled-in defaults. For SVR4 it is
+recommended that
+.I NAMED
+be the first preference connection. The default setting is
+.IR PTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO .
+.PP
+To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and
+export if using
+.B sh
+or
+.BR ksh )
+.I XLOCAL
+globally. If you use startx(1) or xinit(1), the definition should be
+at the top of your
+.I .xinitrc
+file. If you use xdm(1), the definitions should be early on in the
+.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
+script.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B __xservername__
+supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
+run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) configuration files, auto-detection, and
+fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more than
+one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. The list of mechanisms
+is ordered from highest precedence to lowest. Note that not all parameters
+can be supplied via all methods. The available command line options
+and environment variables (and some defaults) are described here and in
+the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page. Most configuration file
+parameters, with their defaults, are described in the
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page. Driver and module specific
+configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver or module
+manual page.
+.PP
+In addition to the normal server options described in the
+Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page,
+.B __xservername__
+accepts the following command line switches:
+.TP 8
+.BI vt XX
+.I XX
+specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which
+.B __xservername__
+will use. Without this option,
+.B __xservername__
+will pick the first available Virtual Terminal that it can locate. This
+option applies only to platforms that have virtual terminal support, such
+as Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris, SVR3, and SVR4.
+.TP
+.B \-allowMouseOpenFail
+Allow the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened
+or initialised. This is equivalent to the
+.B AllowMouseOpenFail
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
+.TP 8
+.B \-allowNonLocalXvidtune
+Make the VidMode extension available to remote clients. This allows
+the xvidtune client to connect from another host. This is equivalent
+to the
+.B AllowNonLocalXvidtune
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option. By default non-local
+connections are not allowed.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-bgamma " value"
+Set the blue gamma correction.
+.I value
+must be between 0.1 and 10.
+The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support this. See also the
+.BR \-gamma ,
+.BR \-rgamma ,
+and
+.B \-ggamma
+options.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-bpp " n"
+No longer supported. Use
+.B \-depth
+to set the color depth, and use
+.B \-fbbpp
+if you really need to force a non-default framebuffer (hardware) pixel
+format.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-config " file"
+Read the server configuration from
+.IR file .
+This option will work for any file when the server is run as root (i.e,
+with real-uid 0), or for files relative to a directory in the config
+search path for all other users.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-configdir " directory"
+Read the server configuration files from
+.IR directory .
+This option will work for any directory when the server is run as root
+(i.e, with real-uid 0), or for directories relative to a directory in the
+config directory search path for all other users.
+.TP 8
+.B \-configure
+When this option is specified, the
+.B __xservername__
+server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware,
+and writes out an initial __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file based on
+what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some
+platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the
+configuration process. This option is only available when the server
+is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
+.TP 8
+.BI "\-crt /dev/tty" XX
+SCO only. This is the same as the
+.B vt
+option, and is provided for compatibility with the native SCO X server.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-depth " n"
+Sets the default color depth. Legal values are 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, and
+24. Not all drivers support all values.
+.TP 8
+.B \-disableVidMode
+Disable the parts of the VidMode extension (used by the xvidtune
+client) that can be used to change the video modes. This is equivalent
+to the
+.B DisableVidModeExtension
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
+.TP 8
+.B \-fbbpp \fIn\fP
+Sets the number of framebuffer bits per pixel. You should only set this
+if you're sure it's necessary; normally the server can deduce the correct
+value from
+.B \-depth
+above. Useful if you want to run a depth 24 configuration with a 24
+bpp framebuffer rather than the (possibly default) 32 bpp framebuffer
+(or vice versa). Legal values are 1, 8, 16, 24, 32. Not all drivers
+support all values.
+.TP 8
+.B \-flipPixels
+Swap the default values for the black and white pixels.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-gamma " value"
+Set the gamma correction.
+.I value
+must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. This value is applied
+equally to the R, G and B values. Those values can be set independently
+with the
+.BR \-rgamma ,
+.BR \-bgamma ,
+and
+.B \-ggamma
+options. Not all drivers support this.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-ggamma " value"
+Set the green gamma correction.
+.I value
+must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support
+this. See also the
+.BR \-gamma ,
+.BR \-rgamma ,
+and
+.B \-bgamma
+options.
+.TP 8
+.B \-ignoreABI
+The
+.B __xservername__
+server checks the ABI revision levels of each module that it loads. It
+will normally refuse to load modules with ABI revisions that are newer
+than the server's. This is because such modules might use interfaces
+that the server does not have. When this option is specified, mismatches
+like this are downgraded from fatal errors to warnings. This option
+should be used with care.
+.TP 8
+.B \-isolateDevice \fIbus\-id\fP
+Restrict device resets to the device at
+.IR bus\-id .
+The
+.I bus\-id
+string has the form
+.IB bustype : bus : device : function
+(e.g., \(oqPCI:1:0:0\(cq).
+At present, only isolation of PCI devices is supported; i.e., this option
+is ignored if
+.I bustype
+is anything other than \(oqPCI\(cq.
+.TP 8
+.B \-keeptty
+Prevent the server from detaching its initial controlling terminal.
+This option is only useful when debugging the server. Not all platforms
+support (or can use) this option.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-keyboard " keyboard-name"
+Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
+.B InputDevice
+section called
+.I keyboard-name
+as the core keyboard. This option is ignored when the
+.B Layout
+section specifies a core keyboard. In the absence of both a Layout
+section and this option, the first relevant
+.B InputDevice
+section is used for the core keyboard.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-layout " layout-name"
+Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
+.B Layout
+section called
+.IR layout-name .
+By default the first
+.B Layout
+section is used.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-logfile " filename"
+Use the file called
+.I filename
+as the
+.B __xservername__
+server log file. The default log file is
+.BI __logdir__/__xservername__. n .log
+on most platforms, where
+.I n
+is the display number of the
+.B __xservername__
+server. The default may be in a different directory on some platforms.
+This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with
+real-uid 0).
+.TP 8
+.BR \-logverbose " [\fIn\fP]"
+Sets the verbosity level for information printed to the
+.B __xservername__
+server log file. If the
+.I n
+value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the log
+file verbosity level. When the
+.I n
+value is supplied, the log file verbosity level is set to that value.
+The default log file verbosity level is 3.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-modulepath " searchpath"
+Set the module search path to
+.IR searchpath .
+.I searchpath
+is a comma separated list of directories to search for
+.B __xservername__
+server modules. This option is only available when the server is run
+as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
+.TP 8
+.B \-nosilk
+Disable Silken Mouse support.
+.TP 8
+.B \-pixmap24
+Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 24 bits per pixel.
+The default is usually 32 bits per pixel. There is normally little
+reason to use this option. Some client applications don't like this
+pixmap format, even though it is a perfectly legal format. This is
+equivalent to the
+.B Pixmap
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
+.TP 8
+.B \-pixmap32
+Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 32 bits per pixel.
+This is usually the default. This is equivalent to the
+.B Pixmap
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-pointer " pointer-name"
+Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
+.B InputDevice
+section called
+.I pointer-name
+as the core pointer. This option is ignored when the
+.B Layout
+section specifies a core pointer. In the absence of both a Layout
+section and this option, the first relevant
+.B InputDevice
+section is used for the core pointer.
+.TP 8
+.B \-quiet
+Suppress most informational messages at startup. The verbosity level
+is set to zero.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-rgamma " value"
+Set the red gamma correction.
+.I value
+must be between 0.1 and 10. The default is 1.0. Not all drivers support
+this. See also the
+.BR \-gamma ,
+.BR \-bgamma ,
+and
+.B \-ggamma
+options.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-screen " screen-name"
+Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
+.B Screen
+section called
+.IR screen-name .
+By default the screens referenced by the default
+.B Layout
+section are used, or the first
+.B Screen
+section when there are no
+.B Layout
+sections.
+.TP 8
+.B \-showconfig
+This is the same as the
+.B \-version
+option, and is included for compatibility reasons. It may be removed
+in a future release, so the
+.B \-version
+option should be used instead.
+.TP 8
+.B \-showDefaultModulePath
+Print out the default module path the server was compiled with.
+.TP 8
+.B \-showDefaultLibPath
+Print out the path libraries should be installed to.
+.TP 8
+.B \-showopts
+For each driver module installed, print out the list of options and their
+argument types.
+.TP 8
+.BI \-weight " nnn"
+Set RGB weighting at 16 bpp. The default is 565. This applies only to
+those drivers which support 16 bpp.
+.TP 8
+.BR \-verbose " [\fIn\fP]"
+Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr. If the
+.I n
+value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the
+verbosity level. When the
+.I n
+value is supplied, the verbosity level is set to that value. The default
+verbosity level is 0.
+.TP 8
+.B \-version
+Print out the server version, patchlevel, release date, the operating
+system/platform it was built on, and whether it includes module loader
+support.
+.SH "KEYBOARD"
+.PP
+The
+.B __xservername__
+server is normally configured to recognize various special combinations
+of key presses that instruct the server to perform some action, rather
+than just sending the key press event to a client application. These actions
+depend on the XKB keymap loaded by a particular keyboard device and may or
+may not be available on a given configuration.
+.PP
+The following key combinations are commonly part of the default XKEYBOARD
+keymap.
+.TP 8
+.B Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
+Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. It can be disabled by
+setting the
+.B DontZap
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option to a TRUE value.
+.PP
+.RS 8
+It should be noted that zapping is triggered by the
+.B Terminate_Server
+action in the keyboard map. This action is not part of the default keymaps
+but can be enabled with the XKB option
+.B \*qterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp\*q.
+.RE
+.TP 8
+.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
+Change video mode to next one specified in the configuration file.
+This can be disabled with the
+.B DontZoom
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
+.TP 8
+.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus
+Change video mode to previous one specified in the configuration file.
+This can be disabled with the
+.B DontZoom
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
+.TP 8
+.B Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12
+For systems with virtual terminal support, these keystroke
+combinations are used to switch to virtual terminals 1 through 12,
+respectively. This can be disabled with the
+.B DontVTSwitch
+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+.B __xservername__
+typically uses a configuration file called
+.B __xconfigfile__
+and configuration files with the suffix
+.I .conf
+in a directory called
+.B __xconfigdir__
+for its initial setup.
+Refer to the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page for information
+about the format of this file.
+.PP
+.B __xservername__
+has a mechanism for automatically generating a built-in configuration
+at run-time when no
+.B __xconfigfile__
+file or
+.B __xconfigdir__
+files are present. The current version of this automatic configuration
+mechanism works in two ways.
+.PP
+The first is via enhancements that have made many components of the
+.B __xconfigfile__
+file optional. This means that information that can be probed or
+reasonably deduced doesn't need to be specified explicitly, greatly
+reducing the amount of built-in configuration information that needs to
+be generated at run-time.
+.PP
+The second is to have "safe" fallbacks for most configuration information.
+This maximises the likelihood that the
+.B __xservername__
+server will start up in some usable configuration even when information
+about the specific hardware is not available.
+.PP
+The automatic configuration support for __xservername__ is work in progress.
+It is currently aimed at the most popular hardware and software platforms
+supported by __xservername__. Enhancements are planned for future releases.
+.SH FILES
+The
+.B __xservername__
+server config files can be found in a range of locations. These are
+documented fully in the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page. The
+most commonly used locations are shown here.

-.SH NAME
-__xconfigfile__ and __xconfigdir__ \- configuration files for
-__xservername__ X server
-.SH INTRODUCTION
-.B __xservername__
-supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
-run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
-__xconfigfile__ and __xconfigdir__ configuration files, auto-detection,
-and fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more
-than one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. The list of
-mechanisms is ordered from highest precedence to lowest. Note that not
-all parameters can be supplied via all methods. The available command
-line options and environment variables (and some defaults) are
-described in the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) and
-__xservername__(__appmansuffix__) manual pages. Most configuration file
-parameters, with their defaults, are described below. Driver and module
-specific configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver
-or module manual page.
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B __xservername__
-uses a configuration file called
-.I __xconfigfile__
-and files ending in the suffix
-.I .conf
-from the directory
-.I __xconfigdir__
-for its initial setup.
-The
-.I __xconfigfile__
-configuration file is searched for in the following places when the
-server is started as a normal user:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.nf
-.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>
-.IR __projectroot__/etc/X11/ <cmdline>

-.IR __projectroot__/lib/X11/__xconfigfile__. <hostname>
-.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/__xconfigfile__
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-where
-.I <cmdline>
-is a relative path (with no \(lq..\(rq components) specified with the
-.B \-config
-command line option,
-.B $XORGCONFIG
-is the relative path (with no \(lq..\(rq components) specified by that
-environment variable, and
-.I <hostname>
-is the machine's hostname as reported by
-.BR gethostname (__libmansuffix__).
-.PP
-When the __xservername__ server is started by the \(lqroot\(rq user, the config file
-search locations are as follows:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.nf
-<cmdline>
-.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>

-.IR __projectroot__/lib/X11/__xconfigfile__. <hostname>
-.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/__xconfigfile__
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-where
-.I <cmdline>
-is the path specified with the
-.B \-config
-command line option (which may be absolute or relative),
-.B $XORGCONFIG
-is the path specified by that
-environment variable (absolute or relative),
-.B $HOME
-is the path specified by that environment variable (usually the home
-directory), and
-.I <hostname>
-is the machine's hostname as reported by
-.BR gethostname (__libmansuffix__).
-.PP
-Additional configuration files are searched for in the following
-directories when the server is started as a normal user:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.nf
-.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>
-.IR __sysconfdir__/X11/ <cmdline>
-.I /etc/X11/__xconfigdir__
-.I __sysconfdir__/X11/__xconfigdir__
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-where
-.I <cmdline>
-is a relative path (with no \(lq..\(rq components) specified with the
-.B \-configdir
-command line option.
-.PP
-When the __xservername__ server is started by the \(lqroot\(rq user, the
-config directory search locations are as follows:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.nf
-<cmdline>
-.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>
-.IR __sysconfdir__/X11/ <cmdline>
-.I /etc/X11/__xconfigdir__
-.I __sysconfdir__/X11/__xconfigdir__
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-where
-.I <cmdline>
-is the path specified with the
-.B \-configdir
-command line option (which may be absolute or relative).
-.PP
-Finally, configuration files will also be searched for in directories
-reserved for system use. These are to separate configuration files from
-the vendor or 3rd party packages from those of local administration.
-These files are found in the following directories:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.nf
-.I /usr/share/X11/__xconfigdir__
-.I __datadir__/X11/__xconfigdir__
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-The
-.I __xconfigfile__
-and
-.I __xconfigdir__
-files are composed of a number of sections which may be present in any order,
-or omitted to use default configuration values.
-Each section has the form:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.nf
-.BI "Section \*q" SectionName \*q
-.RI " " SectionEntry

-The old
-.B XInput
-section is no longer recognised.
-.PP
-The
-.B ServerLayout
-sections are at the highest level.
-They bind together the input and output devices that will be used in a session.
-The input devices are described in the
-.B InputDevice
-sections.
-Output devices usually consist of multiple independent components (e.g.,
-a graphics board and a monitor).
-These multiple components are bound together in the
-.B Screen
-sections, and it is these that are referenced by the
-.B ServerLayout
-section.
-Each
-.B Screen
-section binds together a graphics board and a monitor.
-The graphics boards are described in the
-.B Device
-sections, and the monitors are described in the
-.B Monitor
-sections.
-.PP
-Config file keywords are case\-insensitive, and \(lq_\(rq characters are
-ignored.
-Most strings (including
-.B Option
-names) are also case-insensitive, and insensitive to white space and
-\(lq_\(rq characters.
-.PP
-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:
-.PP
-.RS 4

-.BR "Integer " "an integer number in decimal, hex or octal"
-.BR "Real " "a floating point number"
-.BR "String " "a string enclosed in double quote marks (\*q)"
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-Note: hex integer values must be prefixed with \(lq0x\(rq, and octal values
-with \(lq0\(rq.
-.PP
-A special keyword called
-.B Option
-may be used to provide free\-form data to various components of the server.
-The
-.B 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:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.nf
-.BR "Integer " "an integer number in decimal, hex or octal"
-.BR "Real " "a floating point number"
-.BR "String " "a sequence of characters"
-.BR "Boolean " "a boolean value (see below)"
-.BR "Frequency " "a frequency value (see below)"
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-Note that
-.I all
-.B Option
-values, not just strings, must be enclosed in quotes.
-.PP
-Boolean options may optionally have a value specified.
-When no value is specified, the option's value is
-.BR TRUE .
-The following boolean option values are recognised as
-.BR TRUE :
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.BR 1 ,
-.BR on ,
-.BR true ,
-.B yes
-.RE
-.PP
-and the following boolean option values are recognised as
-.BR FALSE :
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.BR 0 ,
-.BR off ,
-.BR false ,
-.B no
-.RE
-.PP
-If an option name is prefixed with
-.RB \*q No \*q,

-.RS 4
-.nf
-.B "Option \*qAccel\*q \*qOff\*q"
-.B "Option \*qNoAccel\*q"
-.B "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*qOn\*q"
-.B "Option \*qAccel\*q \*qfalse\*q"
-.B "Option \*qAccel\*q \*qno\*q"
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-Frequency option values consist of a real number that is optionally
-followed by one of the following frequency units:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.BR Hz ,
-.BR k ,
-.BR kHz ,
-.BR M ,
-.B MHz
-.RE
-.PP
-When the unit name is omitted, the correct units will be determined from
-the value and the expectations of the appropriate range of the value.
-It is recommended that the units always be specified when using frequency
-option values to avoid any errors in determining the value.
-.SH "FILES SECTION"
-The
-.B Files
-section is used to specify some path names required by the server.
-Some of these paths can also be set from the command line (see
-.BR Xserver (__appmansuffix__)
-and
-.BR __xservername__ (__appmansuffix__)).
-The command line settings override the values specified in the config
-file.

-.PP
-The entries that can appear in this section are:
-.TP 7
-.BI "FontPath \*q" path \*q
-sets the search path for fonts.
-This path is a comma separated list of font path elements which the __xservername__
-server searches for font databases.
-Multiple
-.B FontPath
-entries may be specified, and they will be concatenated to build up the
-fontpath used by the server. Font path elements can be absolute
-directory paths, catalogue directories or a font server identifier. The
-formats of the later two are explained below:
-.PP
-.RS 7
-Catalogue directories:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-Catalogue directories can be specified using the prefix \fBcatalogue:\fR
-before the directory name. The directory can then be populated with
-symlinks pointing to the real font directories, using the following
-syntax in the symlink name:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.IR <identifier> : [attribute]: pri= <priority>
-.RE

-Font server identifiers have the form:
-.RS 4
-.PP
-.IR <trans> / <hostname> : <port\-number>
-.RE
-.PP
-where
-.I <trans>
-is the transport type to use to connect to the font server (e.g.,
-.B unix
-for UNIX\-domain sockets or
-.B tcp
-for a TCP/IP connection),
-.I <hostname>
-is the hostname of the machine running the font server, and
-.I <port\-number>
-is the port number that the font server is listening on (usually 7100).
-.RE
-.PP
-When this entry is not specified in the config file, the server falls back
-to the compiled\-in default font path, which contains the following
-font path elements (which can be set inside a catalogue directory):
-.PP

-Font path elements that are found to be invalid are removed from the
-font path when the server starts up.
-.RE
-.TP 7
-.BI "ModulePath \*q" path \*q

-.PP
-.RS 11
-__xkbdir__
-.RE
-.SH "SERVERFLAGS SECTION"
-In addition to options specific to this section (described below), the
-.B ServerFlags
-section is used to specify some global
-__xservername__ server options.
-All of the entries in this section are
-.BR Options ,
-although for compatibility purposes some of the old style entries are
-still recognised.
-Those old style entries are not documented here, and using them is
-discouraged.
-The
-.B ServerFlags
-section is optional, as are the entries that may be specified in it.
-.PP
-.B Options
-specified in this section (with the exception of the
-.B \*qDefaultServerLayout\*q
-.BR Option )
-may be overridden by
-.B Options
-specified in the active
-.B ServerLayout
-section.
-Options with command line equivalents are overridden when their command
-line equivalent is used.
-The options recognised by this section are:
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qDefaultServerLayout\*q \*q" layout\-id \*q
-This specifies the default
-.B ServerLayout
-section to use in the absence of the
-.B \-layout
-command line option.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qNoTrapSignals\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-This prevents the __xservername__ server from trapping a range of unexpected fatal
-signals and exiting cleanly.
-Instead, the __xservername__ server will die and drop core where the fault occurred.
-The default behaviour is for the __xservername__ server to exit cleanly, but still drop a
-core file.
-In general you never want to use this option unless you are debugging an __xservername__
-server problem and know how to deal with the consequences.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qUseSIGIO\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-This controls whether the __xservername__ server requests that events from
-input devices be reported via a SIGIO signal handler (also known as SIGPOLL
-on some platforms), or only reported via the standard select(3) loop.
-The default behaviour is platform specific. In general you do not want to
-use this option unless you are debugging the __xservername__ server, or
-working around a specific bug until it is fixed, and understand the
-consequences.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qDontVTSwitch\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-This disallows the use of the
-.BI Ctrl+Alt+F n
-sequence (where
-.RI F n
-refers to one of the numbered function keys).
-That sequence is normally used to switch to another \*qvirtual terminal\*q
-on operating systems that have this feature.
-When this option is enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning and
-is passed to clients.
-Default: off.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qDontZap\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-This disallows the use of the
-.B Terminate_Server
-XKB action (usually on Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, depending on XKB options).
-This action is normally used to terminate the __xservername__ server.
-When this option is enabled, the action has no effect.
-Default: off.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qDontZoom\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-This disallows the use of the
-.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad\-Plus
-and
-.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad\-Minus
-sequences.
-These sequences allows you to switch between video modes.
-When this option is enabled, those key sequences have no special meaning
-and are passed to clients.
-Default: off.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qDisableVidModeExtension\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-This disables the parts of the VidMode extension used by the xvidtune client
-that can be used to change the video modes.
-Default: the VidMode extension is enabled.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qAllowNonLocalXvidtune\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-This allows the xvidtune client (and other clients that use the VidMode
-extension) to connect from another host.
-Default: off.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qAllowMouseOpenFail\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-This tells the mousedrv(__drivermansuffix__) and vmmouse(__drivermansuffix__)
-drivers to not report failure if the mouse device can't be opened/initialised.
-It has no effect on the evdev(__drivermansuffix__) or other drivers.
-Default: false.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qVTSysReq\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-enables the SYSV\-style VT switch sequence for non\-SYSV systems
-which support VT switching.
-This sequence is
-.B Alt\-SysRq
-followed by a function key
-.RB ( Fn ).
-This prevents the __xservername__ server trapping the
-keys used for the default VT switch sequence, which means that clients can
-access them.
-Default: off.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qBlankTime\*q \*q" time \*q
-sets the inactivity timeout for the
-.B blank
-phase of the screensaver.
-.I time
-is in minutes.
-This is equivalent to the __xservername__ server's
-.B \-s
-flag, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
-.BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
-Default: 10 minutes.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qStandbyTime\*q \*q" time \*q
-sets the inactivity timeout for the
-.B standby
-phase of DPMS mode.
-.I time
-is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
-.BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
-Default: 10 minutes.
-This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be
-supported by all video drivers.
-It is only enabled for screens that have the
-.B \*qDPMS\*q
-option set (see the MONITOR section below).
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qSuspendTime\*q \*q" time \*q
-sets the inactivity timeout for the
-.B suspend
-phase of DPMS mode.
-.I time
-is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
-.BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
-Default: 10 minutes.
-This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be
-supported by all video drivers.
-It is only enabled for screens that have the
-.B \*qDPMS\*q
-option set (see the MONITOR section below).
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qOffTime\*q \*q" time \*q
-sets the inactivity timeout for the
-.B off
-phase of DPMS mode.
-.I time
-is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
-.BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
-Default: 10 minutes.
-This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be
-supported by all video drivers.
-It is only enabled for screens that have the
-.B \*qDPMS\*q
-option set (see the MONITOR section below).
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qPixmap\*q \*q" bpp \*q
-This sets the pixmap format to use for depth 24.
-Allowed values for
-.I bpp
-are 24 and 32.
-Default: 32 unless driver constraints don't allow this (which is rare).
-Note: some clients don't behave well when this value is set to 24.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qPC98\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Specify that the machine is a Japanese PC\-98 machine.
-This should not be enabled for anything other than the Japanese\-specific
-PC\-98 architecture.
-Default: auto\-detected.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qNoPM\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Disables something to do with power management events.
-Default: PM enabled on platforms that support it.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qXinerama\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-enable or disable XINERAMA extension.
-Default is disabled.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qAIGLX\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-enable or disable AIGLX. AIGLX is enabled by default.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qDRI2\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-enable or disable DRI2. DRI2 is disabled by default.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qGlxVisuals\*q \*q" string \*q
-This option controls how many GLX visuals the GLX modules sets up.
-The default value is
-.BR "typical" ,
-which will setup up a typical subset of
-the GLXFBConfigs provided by the driver as GLX visuals. Other options are
-.BR "minimal" ,
-which will set up the minimal set allowed by the GLX specification and
-.BR "all"
-which will setup GLX visuals for all GLXFBConfigs.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qUseDefaultFontPath\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Include the default font path even if other paths are specified in
-xorg.conf. If enabled, other font paths are included as well. Enabled by
-default.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qIgnoreABI\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Allow modules built for a different, potentially incompatible version of
-the X server to load. Disabled by default.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qAutoAddDevices\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-If this option is disabled, then no devices will be added from HAL events.
-Enabled by default.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qAutoEnableDevices\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-If this option is disabled, then the devices will be added (and the
-DevicePresenceNotify event sent), but not enabled, thus leaving policy up
-to the client.
-Enabled by default.
-.TP 7
-.BI "Option \*qLog\*q \*q" string \*q
-This option controls whether the log is flushed and/or synced to disk after
-each message.
-Possible values are
-.B flush
-or
-.BR sync .
-Unset by default.
-.SH "MODULE SECTION"
-The
-.B Module
-section is used to specify which __xservername__ server modules should be loaded.
-This section is ignored when the __xservername__ server is built in static form.
-The type of modules normally loaded in this section are __xservername__ server
-extension modules.
-Most other module types are loaded automatically when they are needed via
-other mechanisms.
-The
-.B Module
-section is optional, as are all of the entries that may be specified in
-it.
-.PP
-Entries in this section may be in two forms.
-The first and most commonly used form is an entry that uses the
-.B Load
-keyword, as described here:
-.TP 7
-.BI "Load \*q" modulename \*q
-This instructs the server to load the module called
-.IR modulename .
-The module name given should be the module's standard name, not the
-module file name.
-The standard name is case\-sensitive, and does not include the \(lqlib\(rq
-prefix, or the \(lq.a\(rq, \(lq.o\(rq, or \(lq.so\(rq suffixes.
-.PP
-.RS 7
-Example: the DRI extension module can be loaded with the following entry:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.B "Load \*qdri\*q"
-.RE
-.RE
-.TP 7
-.BI "Disable \*q" modulename \*q
-This instructs the server to not load the module called
-.IR modulename .
-Some modules are loaded by default in the server, and this overrides that
-default. If a
-.B Load
-instruction is given for the same module, it overrides the
-.B Disable
-instruction and the module is loaded. The module name given should be the
-module's standard name, not the module file name. As with the
-.B Load
-instruction, the standard name is case-sensitive, and does not include the
-"lib" prefix, or the ".a", ".o", or ".so" suffixes.
-.PP
-The second form of entry is a
-.BR SubSection,
-with the subsection name being the module name, and the contents of the
-.B SubSection
-being
-.B Options
-that are passed to the module when it is loaded.
-.PP
-Example: the extmod module (which contains a miscellaneous group of
-server extensions) can be loaded, with the XFree86\-DGA extension
-disabled by using the following entry:
-.PP
-.RS 4
-.nf
-.B "SubSection \*qextmod\*q"
-.B " Option \*qomit XFree86\-DGA\*q"
-.B EndSubSection
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-Modules are searched for in each directory specified in the
-.B ModulePath
-search path, and in the drivers, extensions, input, internal, and
-multimedia subdirectories of each of those directories.
-In addition to this, operating system specific subdirectories of all
-the above are searched first if they exist.
-.PP
-To see what extension modules are available, check the extensions

+.SH NAME
+__xconfigfile__ and __xconfigdir__ \- configuration files for
+__xservername__ X server
+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.B __xservername__
+supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
+run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
+__xconfigfile__ and __xconfigdir__ configuration files, auto-detection,
+and fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more
+than one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. The list of
+mechanisms is ordered from highest precedence to lowest. Note that not
+all parameters can be supplied via all methods. The available command
+line options and environment variables (and some defaults) are
+described in the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) and
+__xservername__(__appmansuffix__) manual pages. Most configuration file
+parameters, with their defaults, are described below. Driver and module
+specific configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver
+or module manual page.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B __xservername__
+uses a configuration file called
+.I __xconfigfile__
+and files ending in the suffix
+.I .conf
+from the directory
+.I __xconfigdir__
+for its initial setup.
+The
+.I __xconfigfile__
+configuration file is searched for in the following places when the
+server is started as a normal user:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>
+.IR __projectroot__/etc/X11/ <cmdline>
+.IB /etc/X11/ $XORGCONFIG
+.IB __projectroot__/etc/X11/ $XORGCONFIG
+.I /etc/X11/__xconfigfile__
+.I /etc/__xconfigfile__
+.IR __projectroot__/etc/X11/__xconfigfile__. <hostname>
+.I __projectroot__/etc/X11/__xconfigfile__
+.IR __projectroot__/lib/X11/__xconfigfile__. <hostname>
+.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/__xconfigfile__
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <cmdline>
+is a relative path (with no \(lq..\(rq components) specified with the
+.B \-config
+command line option,
+.B $XORGCONFIG
+is the relative path (with no \(lq..\(rq components) specified by that
+environment variable, and
+.I <hostname>
+is the machine's hostname as reported by
+.BR gethostname (__libmansuffix__).
+.PP
+When the __xservername__ server is started by the \(lqroot\(rq user, the config file
+search locations are as follows:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+<cmdline>
+.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>
+.IR __projectroot__/etc/X11/ <cmdline>
+.B $XORGCONFIG
+.IB /etc/X11/ $XORGCONFIG

+.I __projectroot__/etc/X11/__xconfigfile__
+.IR __projectroot__/lib/X11/__xconfigfile__. <hostname>
+.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/__xconfigfile__
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <cmdline>
+is the path specified with the
+.B \-config
+command line option (which may be absolute or relative),
+.B $XORGCONFIG
+is the path specified by that
+environment variable (absolute or relative),
+.B $HOME
+is the path specified by that environment variable (usually the home
+directory), and
+.I <hostname>
+is the machine's hostname as reported by
+.BR gethostname (__libmansuffix__).
+.PP
+Additional configuration files are searched for in the following
+directories when the server is started as a normal user:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>
+.IR __sysconfdir__/X11/ <cmdline>
+.I /etc/X11/__xconfigdir__
+.I __sysconfdir__/X11/__xconfigdir__
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <cmdline>
+is a relative path (with no \(lq..\(rq components) specified with the
+.B \-configdir
+command line option.
+.PP
+When the __xservername__ server is started by the \(lqroot\(rq user, the
+config directory search locations are as follows:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+<cmdline>
+.IR /etc/X11/ <cmdline>
+.IR __sysconfdir__/X11/ <cmdline>
+.I /etc/X11/__xconfigdir__
+.I __sysconfdir__/X11/__xconfigdir__
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <cmdline>
+is the path specified with the
+.B \-configdir
+command line option (which may be absolute or relative).
+.PP
+Finally, configuration files will also be searched for in directories
+reserved for system use. These are to separate configuration files from
+the vendor or 3rd party packages from those of local administration.
+These files are found in the following directories:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.I /usr/share/X11/__xconfigdir__
+.I __datadir__/X11/__xconfigdir__
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+.I __xconfigfile__
+and
+.I __xconfigdir__
+files are composed of a number of sections which may be present in any order,
+or omitted to use default configuration values.
+Each section has the form:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.BI "Section \*q" SectionName \*q
+.RI " " SectionEntry
+ ...
+.B EndSection
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The section names are:
+.PP
+.RS 4

+.RE
+.PP
+The following obsolete section names are still recognised for compatibility
+purposes.
+In new config files, the

+section should be used instead.
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.BR "Keyboard " "Keyboard configuration"
+.BR "Pointer " "Pointer/mouse configuration"
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The old
+.B XInput
+section is no longer recognised.
+.PP
+The
+.B ServerLayout
+sections are at the highest level.
+They bind together the input and output devices that will be used in a session.
+The input devices are described in the
+.B InputDevice
+sections.
+Output devices usually consist of multiple independent components (e.g.,
+a graphics board and a monitor).
+These multiple components are bound together in the
+.B Screen
+sections, and it is these that are referenced by the
+.B ServerLayout
+section.
+Each
+.B Screen
+section binds together a graphics board and a monitor.
+The graphics boards are described in the
+.B Device
+sections, and the monitors are described in the
+.B Monitor
+sections.
+.PP
+Config file keywords are case\-insensitive, and \(lq_\(rq characters are
+ignored.
+Most strings (including
+.B Option
+names) are also case-insensitive, and insensitive to white space and
+\(lq_\(rq characters.
+.PP
+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:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.BR "Integer " "an integer number in decimal, hex or octal"
+.BR "Real " "a floating point number"
+.BR "String " "a string enclosed in double quote marks (\*q)"
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Note: hex integer values must be prefixed with \(lq0x\(rq, and octal values
+with \(lq0\(rq.
+.PP
+A special keyword called
+.B Option
+may be used to provide free\-form data to various components of the server.
+The
+.B 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:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.BR "Integer " "an integer number in decimal, hex or octal"
+.BR "Real " "a floating point number"
+.BR "String " "a sequence of characters"
+.BR "Boolean " "a boolean value (see below)"
+.BR "Frequency " "a frequency value (see below)"
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Note that
+.I all
+.B Option
+values, not just strings, must be enclosed in quotes.
+.PP
+Boolean options may optionally have a value specified.
+When no value is specified, the option's value is
+.BR TRUE .
+The following boolean option values are recognised as
+.BR TRUE :
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.BR 1 ,
+.BR on ,
+.BR true ,
+.B yes
+.RE
+.PP
+and the following boolean option values are recognised as
+.BR FALSE :
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.BR 0 ,
+.BR off ,
+.BR false ,
+.B no
+.RE
+.PP
+If an option name is prefixed with
+.RB \*q No \*q,
+then the option value is negated.
+.PP
+Example: the following option entries are equivalent:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.B "Option \*qAccel\*q \*qOff\*q"
+.B "Option \*qNoAccel\*q"
+.B "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*qOn\*q"
+.B "Option \*qAccel\*q \*qfalse\*q"
+.B "Option \*qAccel\*q \*qno\*q"
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Frequency option values consist of a real number that is optionally
+followed by one of the following frequency units:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.BR Hz ,
+.BR k ,
+.BR kHz ,
+.BR M ,
+.B MHz
+.RE
+.PP
+When the unit name is omitted, the correct units will be determined from
+the value and the expectations of the appropriate range of the value.
+It is recommended that the units always be specified when using frequency
+option values to avoid any errors in determining the value.
+.SH "FILES SECTION"
+The
+.B Files
+section is used to specify some path names required by the server.
+Some of these paths can also be set from the command line (see
+.BR Xserver (__appmansuffix__)
+and
+.BR __xservername__ (__appmansuffix__)).
+The command line settings override the values specified in the config
+file.
+The
+.B Files
+section is optional, as are all of the entries that may appear in it.
+.PP
+The entries that can appear in this section are:
+.TP 7
+.BI "FontPath \*q" path \*q
+sets the search path for fonts.
+This path is a comma separated list of font path elements which the __xservername__
+server searches for font databases.
+Multiple
+.B FontPath
+entries may be specified, and they will be concatenated to build up the
+fontpath used by the server. Font path elements can be absolute
+directory paths, catalogue directories or a font server identifier. The
+formats of the later two are explained below:
+.PP
+.RS 7
+Catalogue directories:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+Catalogue directories can be specified using the prefix \fBcatalogue:\fR
+before the directory name. The directory can then be populated with
+symlinks pointing to the real font directories, using the following
+syntax in the symlink name:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.IR <identifier> : [attribute]: pri= <priority>
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <identifier>
+is an alphanumeric identifier,
+.I [attribute]

+.RS 4
+Font server identifiers have the form:
+.RS 4
+.PP
+.IR <trans> / <hostname> : <port\-number>
+.RE
+.PP
+where
+.I <trans>
+is the transport type to use to connect to the font server (e.g.,
+.B unix
+for UNIX\-domain sockets or
+.B tcp
+for a TCP/IP connection),
+.I <hostname>
+is the hostname of the machine running the font server, and
+.I <port\-number>
+is the port number that the font server is listening on (usually 7100).
+.RE
+.PP
+When this entry is not specified in the config file, the server falls back
+to the compiled\-in default font path, which contains the following
+font path elements (which can be set inside a catalogue directory):
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.I __datadir__/fonts/X11/misc/

+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Font path elements that are found to be invalid are removed from the
+font path when the server starts up.
+.RE
+.TP 7
+.BI "ModulePath \*q" path \*q

+command line option can be used to override this. The default directory is
+.PP
+.RS 11
+__xkbdir__
+.RE
+.SH "SERVERFLAGS SECTION"
+In addition to options specific to this section (described below), the
+.B ServerFlags
+section is used to specify some global
+__xservername__ server options.
+All of the entries in this section are
+.BR Options ,
+although for compatibility purposes some of the old style entries are
+still recognised.
+Those old style entries are not documented here, and using them is
+discouraged.
+The
+.B ServerFlags
+section is optional, as are the entries that may be specified in it.
+.PP
+.B Options
+specified in this section (with the exception of the
+.B \*qDefaultServerLayout\*q
+.BR Option )
+may be overridden by
+.B Options
+specified in the active
+.B ServerLayout
+section.
+Options with command line equivalents are overridden when their command
+line equivalent is used.
+The options recognised by this section are:
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qDefaultServerLayout\*q \*q" layout\-id \*q
+This specifies the default
+.B ServerLayout
+section to use in the absence of the
+.B \-layout
+command line option.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qNoTrapSignals\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This prevents the __xservername__ server from trapping a range of unexpected fatal
+signals and exiting cleanly.
+Instead, the __xservername__ server will die and drop core where the fault occurred.
+The default behaviour is for the __xservername__ server to exit cleanly, but still drop a
+core file.
+In general you never want to use this option unless you are debugging an __xservername__
+server problem and know how to deal with the consequences.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qUseSIGIO\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This controls whether the __xservername__ server requests that events from
+input devices be reported via a SIGIO signal handler (also known as SIGPOLL
+on some platforms), or only reported via the standard select(3) loop.
+The default behaviour is platform specific. In general you do not want to
+use this option unless you are debugging the __xservername__ server, or
+working around a specific bug until it is fixed, and understand the
+consequences.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qDontVTSwitch\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This disallows the use of the
+.BI Ctrl+Alt+F n
+sequence (where
+.RI F n
+refers to one of the numbered function keys).
+That sequence is normally used to switch to another \*qvirtual terminal\*q
+on operating systems that have this feature.
+When this option is enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning and
+is passed to clients.
+Default: off.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qDontZap\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This disallows the use of the
+.B Terminate_Server
+XKB action (usually on Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, depending on XKB options).
+This action is normally used to terminate the __xservername__ server.
+When this option is enabled, the action has no effect.
+Default: off.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qDontZoom\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This disallows the use of the
+.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad\-Plus
+and
+.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad\-Minus
+sequences.
+These sequences allows you to switch between video modes.
+When this option is enabled, those key sequences have no special meaning
+and are passed to clients.
+Default: off.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qDisableVidModeExtension\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This disables the parts of the VidMode extension used by the xvidtune client
+that can be used to change the video modes.
+Default: the VidMode extension is enabled.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qAllowNonLocalXvidtune\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This allows the xvidtune client (and other clients that use the VidMode
+extension) to connect from another host.
+Default: off.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qAllowMouseOpenFail\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This tells the mousedrv(__drivermansuffix__) and vmmouse(__drivermansuffix__)
+drivers to not report failure if the mouse device can't be opened/initialised.
+It has no effect on the evdev(__drivermansuffix__) or other drivers.
+Default: false.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qVTSysReq\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+enables the SYSV\-style VT switch sequence for non\-SYSV systems
+which support VT switching.
+This sequence is
+.B Alt\-SysRq
+followed by a function key
+.RB ( Fn ).
+This prevents the __xservername__ server trapping the
+keys used for the default VT switch sequence, which means that clients can
+access them.
+Default: off.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qBlankTime\*q \*q" time \*q
+sets the inactivity timeout for the
+.B blank
+phase of the screensaver.
+.I time
+is in minutes.
+This is equivalent to the __xservername__ server's
+.B \-s
+flag, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
+.BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
+Default: 10 minutes.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qStandbyTime\*q \*q" time \*q
+sets the inactivity timeout for the
+.B standby
+phase of DPMS mode.
+.I time
+is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
+.BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
+Default: 10 minutes.
+This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be
+supported by all video drivers.
+It is only enabled for screens that have the
+.B \*qDPMS\*q
+option set (see the MONITOR section below).
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qSuspendTime\*q \*q" time \*q
+sets the inactivity timeout for the
+.B suspend
+phase of DPMS mode.
+.I time
+is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
+.BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
+Default: 10 minutes.
+This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be
+supported by all video drivers.
+It is only enabled for screens that have the
+.B \*qDPMS\*q
+option set (see the MONITOR section below).
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qOffTime\*q \*q" time \*q
+sets the inactivity timeout for the
+.B off
+phase of DPMS mode.
+.I time
+is in minutes, and the value can be changed at run\-time with
+.BR xset(__appmansuffix__).
+Default: 10 minutes.
+This is only suitable for VESA DPMS compatible monitors, and may not be
+supported by all video drivers.
+It is only enabled for screens that have the
+.B \*qDPMS\*q
+option set (see the MONITOR section below).
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qPixmap\*q \*q" bpp \*q
+This sets the pixmap format to use for depth 24.
+Allowed values for
+.I bpp
+are 24 and 32.
+Default: 32 unless driver constraints don't allow this (which is rare).
+Note: some clients don't behave well when this value is set to 24.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qPC98\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Specify that the machine is a Japanese PC\-98 machine.
+This should not be enabled for anything other than the Japanese\-specific
+PC\-98 architecture.
+Default: auto\-detected.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qNoPM\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Disables something to do with power management events.
+Default: PM enabled on platforms that support it.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qXinerama\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+enable or disable XINERAMA extension.
+Default is disabled.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qAIGLX\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+enable or disable AIGLX. AIGLX is enabled by default.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qDRI2\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+enable or disable DRI2. DRI2 is disabled by default.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qGlxVisuals\*q \*q" string \*q
+This option controls how many GLX visuals the GLX modules sets up.
+The default value is
+.BR "typical" ,
+which will setup up a typical subset of
+the GLXFBConfigs provided by the driver as GLX visuals. Other options are
+.BR "minimal" ,
+which will set up the minimal set allowed by the GLX specification and
+.BR "all"
+which will setup GLX visuals for all GLXFBConfigs.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qUseDefaultFontPath\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Include the default font path even if other paths are specified in
+xorg.conf. If enabled, other font paths are included as well. Enabled by
+default.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qIgnoreABI\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Allow modules built for a different, potentially incompatible version of
+the X server to load. Disabled by default.
+.TP 7
+.BI "Option \*qAutoAddDevices\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+If this option is disabled, then no devices will be added from HAL events.
+Enabled by default.

+.SH "MODULE SECTION"
+The
+.B Module
+section is used to specify which __xservername__ server modules should be loaded.
+This section is ignored when the __xservername__ server is built in static form.
+The type of modules normally loaded in this section are __xservername__ server
+extension modules.
+Most other module types are loaded automatically when they are needed via
+other mechanisms.
+The
+.B Module
+section is optional, as are all of the entries that may be specified in
+it.
+.PP
+Entries in this section may be in two forms.
+The first and most commonly used form is an entry that uses the
+.B Load
+keyword, as described here:
+.TP 7
+.BI "Load \*q" modulename \*q
+This instructs the server to load the module called
+.IR modulename .
+The module name given should be the module's standard name, not the
+module file name.
+The standard name is case\-sensitive, and does not include the \(lqlib\(rq
+prefix, or the \(lq.a\(rq, \(lq.o\(rq, or \(lq.so\(rq suffixes.
+.PP
+.RS 7
+Example: the DRI extension module can be loaded with the following entry:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.B "Load \*qdri\*q"
+.RE
+.RE
+.TP 7
+.BI "Disable \*q" modulename \*q
+This instructs the server to not load the module called
+.IR modulename .
+Some modules are loaded by default in the server, and this overrides that
+default. If a
+.B Load
+instruction is given for the same module, it overrides the
+.B Disable
+instruction and the module is loaded. The module name given should be the
+module's standard name, not the module file name. As with the
+.B Load
+instruction, the standard name is case-sensitive, and does not include the
+"lib" prefix, or the ".a", ".o", or ".so" suffixes.
+.PP
+The second form of entry is a
+.BR SubSection,
+with the subsection name being the module name, and the contents of the
+.B SubSection
+being
+.B Options
+that are passed to the module when it is loaded.
+.PP
+Example: the extmod module (which contains a miscellaneous group of
+server extensions) can be loaded, with the XFree86\-DGA extension
+disabled by using the following entry:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.B "SubSection \*qextmod\*q"
+.B " Option \*qomit XFree86\-DGA\*q"
+.B EndSubSection
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Modules are searched for in each directory specified in the
+.B ModulePath
+search path, and in the drivers, extensions, input, internal, and
+multimedia subdirectories of each of those directories.
+In addition to this, operating system specific subdirectories of all
+the above are searched first if they exist.
+.PP
+To see what extension modules are available, check the extensions
+subdirectory under:
+.PP
+.RS 4

+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The \(lqextmod\(rq, \(lqdbe\(rq, \(lqdri\(rq, \(lqdri2\(rq, \(lqglx\(rq,

+are present, unless disabled with \*qDisable\*q entries.
+It is recommended
+that at very least the \(lqextmod\(rq extension module be loaded.
+If it isn't, some commonly used server extensions (like the SHAPE
+extension) will not be available.
+.SH "EXTENSIONS SECTION"
+The
+.B Extensions
+section is used to specify which X11 protocol extensions should be enabled
+or disabled.

+it.
+.PP
+Entries in this section are listed as Option statements with the name of
+the extension as the first argument, and a boolean value as the second.
+The extension name is case\-sensitive, and matches the form shown in the output
+of \*qXorg -extension ?\*q.
+.PP

+backend being the default backend for X servers since 1.4. It is usually not
+necessary to provide
+.B InputDevice
+sections in the xorg.conf if hotplugging is enabled.
+.PP
+If hotplugging is disabled, there will normally
+be at least two: one for the core (primary) keyboard

+If either of these two is missing, a default configuration for the missing
+ones will be used. In the absence of an explicitly specified core input
+device, the first
+.B InputDevice

+.BI "InputDevice \*q" idev\-id "\*q \*q" option \*q " ..."
+One of these entries should be given for each input device being used in
+a session.
+Normally at least two are required, one each for the core pointer and
+keyboard devices.
+If either of those is missing, suitable
+.B InputDevice
+entries are searched for using the method described above in the
+.B INPUTDEVICE
+section. The
+.I idev\-id
+field is mandatory, and specifies the name of the
+.B InputDevice
+section being referenced.
+Multiple
+.I option
+fields may be specified, each in double quotes.
+The options permitted here are any that may also be given in the
+.B InputDevice
+sections.
+Normally only session\-specific input device options would be used here.
