Then, it will start XFree86 and allow customizations. .br If the \fBDISPLAY\fP environment variable is set, xf86cfg will read the default \fIXF86Config\fP, that may not be the same being used by the current server, and allow customizations. .PP To use an alternative location for modules or fonts the respective search paths may be specified. .PP Unless there is an \fBApply\fP button in the current xf86cfg dialog, the changes made will take place the next time \fIXFree86\fP is started. .PP Xf86cfg allows addition and configuration of new devices, such as video cards, monitors, keyboards and mouses. .PP Screen layout configuration for xinerama or traditional multi-head is also available. .PP Modelines can be configured or optimized. .PP AccessX basic configurations can be made in the xf86cfg's accessx section. .SH OPTIONS .TP 8 .I -xf86config Specifies an alternate XF86Config file for configuration. .TP 8 .I -modulepath Specifies where xf86cfg, and the server it may start, should look for XFree86 modules. .TP 8 .I -serverpath Specifies the complete path, not including the binary name, of the XFree86 binary. .TP 8 .I -fontpath Specifies the path to the fonts that should be used by the server started by xf86cfg. .TP 8 .I -rgbpath Specifies the path to the rgb.txt file that should be used by the server started by xf86cfg, if any. .TP 8 .I -textmode If xf86cfg was compiled with support to ncurses, this option makes xf86cfg enters a text mode interface. .TP 8 .I -nomodules When built with support for loading modules, this options changes xf86cfg behaviour, so that it will not load any modules, and thus start quicker. .SH ENVIRONMENT .TP 8 .I DISPLAY Default host and display number .TP 8 .I XWINHOME Directory where XFree86 was installed, defaults to /usr/X11R6. .TP 8 .I XENVIRONMENT Name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property .SH FILES .TP 8 .I /etc/XF86Config Server configuration file .TP 8 .I /etc/X11/XF86Config Server configuration file .TP 8 .I /usr/X11R6/etc/XF86Config Server configuration file .TP 8 .IR __projectroot__/lib/X11/XF86Config. hostname Server configuration file .TP 8 .I __projectroot__/lib/X11/XF86Config Server configuration file .TP 8 .I __projectroot__/lib/X11/app-default/XF86Cfg Specifies xf86cfg resources .TP 8 .I __projectroot__/lib/X11/xkb/X0-config.keyboard Keyboard specific configuration .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR XFree86 (1) .IR XF86Config (__filemansuffix__) .SH COPYRIGHT .TP 8 Copyright 2000, Conectiva Linux S.A. \fIhttp://www.conectiva.com\fP .TP 8 Copyright 2000, The XFree86 Project \fIhttp://www.XFree86.org\fP .SH AUTHORS .TP 8 Paulo César Pereira de Andrade \fI<pcpa@conectiva.com.br>\fP The XFree86 Project .SH BUGS Probably.
