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(1) and Xorg(1) 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 Xorg uses a configuration file called .I xorg.conf and files ending in the suffix .I .conf from the directory .I xorg.conf.d for its initial setup. The .I xorg.conf 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 /usr/etc/X11/ <cmdline> .IB /etc/X11/ $XORGCONFIG .IB /usr/etc/X11/ $XORGCONFIG .I /etc/X11/xorg.conf\-4 .I /etc/X11/xorg.conf .I /etc/xorg.conf .IR /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf. <hostname> .I /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf\-4 .I /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf .IR /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf. <hostname> .I /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf\-4 .I /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf .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 (3). .PP When the Xorg 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 /usr/etc/X11/ <cmdline> .B $XORGCONFIG .IB /etc/X11/ $XORGCONFIG .IB /usr/etc/X11/ $XORGCONFIG .I /etc/X11/xorg.conf\-4 .I /etc/X11/xorg.conf .I /etc/xorg.conf .IR /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf. <hostname> .I /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf\-4 .I /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf .IR /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf. <hostname> .I /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf\-4 .I /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf .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 (3). .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 /etc/X11/ <cmdline> .I /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d .I /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d .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 Xorg 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 /etc/X11/ <cmdline> .I /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d .I /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d .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/xorg.conf.d .I /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d .fi .RE .PP The .I xorg.conf and .I xorg.conf.d 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 .nf .BR "Files " "File pathnames" .BR "ServerFlags " "Server flags" .BR "Module " "Dynamic module loading" .BR "Extensions " "Extension enabling" .BR "InputDevice " "Input device description" .BR "InputClass " "Input class description" .BR "Device " "Graphics device description" .BR "VideoAdaptor " "Xv video adaptor description" .BR "Monitor " "Monitor description" .BR "Modes " "Video modes descriptions" .BR "Screen " "Screen configuration" .BR "ServerLayout " "Overall layout" .BR "DRI " "DRI\-specific configuration" .BR "Vendor " "Vendor\-specific configuration" .fi .RE .PP The following obsolete section names are still recognised for compatibility purposes. In new config files, the .B InputDevice 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 (1) and .BR Xorg (1)). 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 Xorg 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] is an attribute which will be passed to the underlying FPE and .I <priority> is a number used to order the fontfile FPEs. Examples: .PP .RS 4 .nf .I 75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi .I gscript:pri=60 -> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript .I misc:unscaled:pri=10 \-> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc .fi .PP .RE .RE .RE .PP .RS 7 Font server identifiers: .PP .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 /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ .I /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/ .I /usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF/ .I /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/ .I /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/ .I /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/ .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 sets the search path for loadable Xorg server modules. This path is a comma separated list of directories which the Xorg server searches for loadable modules loading in the order specified. Multiple .B ModulePath entries may be specified, and they will be concatenated to build the module search path used by the server. The default module path is .PP .RS 11 /usr/lib/xorg/modules .RE .\" The LogFile keyword is not currently implemented .ig .TP 7 .BI "LogFile \*q" path \*q sets the name of the Xorg server log file. The default log file name is .PP .RS 11 .RI /var/log/Xorg. <n> .log .RE .PP .RS 7 where .I <n> is the display number for the Xorg server. .. .TP 7 .BI "XkbDir \*q" path \*q sets the base directory for keyboard layout files. The .B \-xkbdir command line option can be used to override this. The default directory is .PP .RS 11 /usr/share/X11/xkb .RE .SH "SERVERFLAGS SECTION" In addition to options specific to this section (described below), the .B ServerFlags section is used to specify some global Xorg 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 Xorg server from trapping a range of unexpected fatal signals and exiting cleanly. Instead, the Xorg server will die and drop core where the fault occurred. The default behaviour is for the Xorg server to exit cleanly, but still drop a core file. In general you never want to use this option unless you are debugging an Xorg server problem and know how to deal with the consequences. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qUseSIGIO\*q \*q" boolean \*q This controls whether the Xorg 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 Xorg 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 Xorg 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(4) and vmmouse(4) drivers to not report failure if the mouse device can't be opened/initialised. It has no effect on the evdev(4) or other drivers. The previous functionality of allowing the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened/initialised is now handled by the AllowEmptyInput option. 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 Xorg 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 Xorg server's .B \-s flag, and the value can be changed at run\-time with .BR xset(1). 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(1). 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(1). 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(1). 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 \*qAllowEmptyInput\*q \*q" boolean \*q If enabled, don't add the standard keyboard and mouse drivers, if there are no input devices in the config file. Enabled by default if AutoAddDevices and AutoEnableDevices is enabled, otherwise disabled. If AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using the kbd, mouse or vmmouse driver are ignored. .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 Xorg server modules should be loaded. This section is ignored when the Xorg server is built in static form. The type of modules normally loaded in this section are Xorg 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 .nf /usr/lib/xorg/modules .fi .RE .PP The \(lqextmod\(rq, \(lqdbe\(rq, \(lqdri\(rq, \(lqdri2\(rq, \(lqglx\(rq, and \(lqrecord\(rq extension modules are loaded automatically, if they 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. The .B Extensions section is optional, as are all of the entries that may be specified in 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 .RS 7 Example: the MIT-SHM extension can be disabled with the following entry: .PP .RS 4 .nf .B "Section \*qExtensions\*q" .B " Option \*qMIT-SHM\*q \*qDisable\*q" .B "EndSection" .fi .RE .RE .SH "INPUTDEVICE SECTION" The config file may have multiple .B InputDevice sections. Recent X servers employ input hotplugging to add input devices, with the HAL 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 and one for the core pointer. 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 marked as .B CorePointer (or .BR CoreKeyboard ) is used. If there is no match there, the first .B InputDevice that uses the \(lqmouse\(rq (or \(lqkbd\(rq) driver is used. The final fallback is to use built\-in default configurations. Currently the default configuration may not work as expected on all platforms. .PP .B InputDevice sections have the following format: .PP .RS 4 .nf .B "Section \*qInputDevice\*q" .BI " Identifier \*q" name \*q .BI " Driver \*q" inputdriver \*q .I " options" .I " ..." .B "EndSection" .fi .RE .PP The .B Identifier and .B Driver entries are required in all .B InputDevice sections. All other entries are optional. .PP The .B Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this input device. The .B Driver entry specifies the name of the driver to use for this input device. When using the loadable server, the input driver module .RI \*q inputdriver \*q will be loaded for each active .B InputDevice section. An .B InputDevice section is considered active if it is referenced by an active .B ServerLayout section, if it is referenced by the .B \-keyboard or .B \-pointer command line options, or if it is selected implicitly as the core pointer or keyboard device in the absence of such explicit references. The most commonly used input drivers are .BR evdev (4) on Linux systems, and .BR kbd (4) and .BR mousedrv (4) on other platforms. .PP .PP .B InputDevice sections recognise some driver\-independent .BR Options , which are described here. See the individual input driver manual pages for a description of the device\-specific options. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qAutoServerLayout\*q \*q" boolean \*q Always add the device to the ServerLayout section used by this instance of the server. This affects implied layouts as well as explicit layouts specified in the configuration and/or on the command line. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qCorePointer\*q" Deprecated, use .B SendCoreEvents instead. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qCoreKeyboard\*q" Deprecated, use .B SendCoreEvents instead. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qAlwaysCore\*q \*q" boolean \*q .B Deprecated, use .B SendCoreEvents instead. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qSendCoreEvents\*q \*q" boolean \*q Both of these options are equivalent, and when enabled cause the input device to report core events through the master device. They are enabled by default. Any device configured to send core events will be attached to the virtual core pointer or keyboard and control the cursor by default. Devices with .B SendCoreEvents disabled will be \*qfloating\*q and only accessible by clients employing the X Input extension. This option controls the startup behavior only, a device may be reattached or set floating at runtime. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qSendDragEvents\*q \*q" boolean \*q Send core events while dragging. Enabled by default. .PP For pointing devices, the following options control how the pointer is accelerated or decelerated with respect to physical device motion. Most of these can be adjusted at runtime, see the xinput(1) man page for details. Only the most important acceleration options are discussed here. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qAccelerationProfile\*q \*q" integer \*q Select the profile. In layman's terms, the profile constitutes the "feeling" of the acceleration. More formally, it defines how the transfer function (actual acceleration as a function of current device velocity and acceleration controls) is constructed. This is mainly a matter of personal preference. .PP .RS 6 .nf .B " 0 classic (mostly compatible)" .B "-1 none (only constant deceleration is applied)" .B " 1 device-dependent" .B " 2 polynomial (polynomial function)" .B " 3 smooth linear (soft knee, then linear)" .B " 4 simple (normal when slow, otherwise accelerated)" .B " 5 power (power function)" .B " 6 linear (more speed, more acceleration)" .B " 7 limited (like linear, but maxes out at threshold)" .fi .RE .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qConstantDeceleration\*q \*q" real \*q Makes the pointer go .B deceleration times slower than normal. Most useful for high-resolution devices. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qAdaptiveDeceleration\*q \*q" real \*q Allows to actually decelerate the pointer when going slow. At most, it will be .B adaptive deceleration times slower. Enables precise pointer placement without sacrificing speed. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qAccelerationScheme\*q \*q" string \*q Selects the scheme, which is the underlying algorithm. .PP .RS 7 .nf .B "predictable default algorithm (behaving more predictable)" .B "lightweight old acceleration code (as specified in the X protocol spec)" .B "none no acceleration or deceleration" .fi .RE .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qAccelerationNumerator\*q \*q" integer \*q .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qAccelerationDenominator\*q \*q" integer \*q Set numerator and denominator of the acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is a rational which, together with threshold, can be used to tweak profiles to suit the users needs. The .B simple and .B limited profiles use it directly (i.e. they accelerate by the factor), for other profiles it should hold that a higher acceleration factor leads to a faster pointer. Typically, 1 is unaccelerated and values up to 5 are sensible. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qAccelerationThreshold\*q \*q" integer \*q Set the threshold, which is roughly the velocity (usually device units per 10 ms) required for acceleration to become effective. The precise effect varies with the profile however.
.SH "INPUTCLASS SECTION" The config file may have multiple .B InputClass sections. These sections are optional and are used to provide configuration for a class of input devices as they are automatically added. An input device can match more than one .B InputClass section. Each class can override settings from a previous class, so it is best to arrange the sections with the most generic matches first. .PP .B InputClass sections have the following format: .PP .RS 4 .nf .B "Section \*qInputClass\*q" .BI " Identifier \*q" name \*q .I " entries" .I " ..." .I " options" .I " ..." .B "EndSection" .fi .RE .PP The .B Identifier entry is required in all .B InputClass sections. All other entries are optional. .PP The .B Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this input class. The .B Driver entry specifies the name of the driver to use for this input device. After all classes have been examined, the .RI \*q inputdriver \*q module from the first .B Driver entry will be enabled when using the loadable server. .PP When an input device is automatically added, its characteristics are checked against all .B InputClass sections. Each section can contain optional entries to narrow the match of the class. If none of the optional entries appear, the .B InputClass section is generic and will match any input device. If more than one of these entries appear, they all must match for the configuration to apply. .PP There are two types of match entries used in .B InputClass sections. The first allows various tokens to be matched against attributes of the device. An entry can be constructed to match attributes from different devices by separating arguments with a '|' character. Multiple entries of the same type may be supplied to add multiple matching conditions on the same attribute. For example: .PP .RS 4 .nf .B "Section \*qInputClass\*q" .B " Identifier \*qMy Class\*q" .B " # product string must contain example and .B " # either gizmo or gadget .B " MatchProduct \*qexample\*q .B " MatchProduct \*qgizmo|gadget\*q .I " ..." .B "EndSection" .fi .RE .TP 7 .BI "MatchProduct \*q" matchproduct \*q This entry can be used to check if the substring .RI \*q matchproduct \*q occurs in the device's product name. .TP 7 .BI "MatchVendor \*q" matchvendor \*q This entry can be used to check if the substring .RI \*q matchvendor \*q occurs in the device's vendor name. .TP 7 .BI "MatchDevicePath \*q" matchdevice \*q This entry can be used to check if the device file matches the .RI \*q matchdevice \*q pathname pattern. .TP 7 .BI "MatchOS \*q" matchos \*q This entry can be used to check if the operating system matches the case-insensitive .RI \*q matchos \*q string. This entry is only supported on platforms providing the .BR uname (2) system call. .TP 7 .BI "MatchPnPID \*q" matchpnp \*q The device's Plug and Play (PnP) ID can be checked against the .RI \*q matchpnp \*q shell wildcard pattern. .TP 7 .BI "MatchUSBID \*q" matchusb \*q The device's USB ID can be checked against the .RI \*q matchusb \*q shell wildcard pattern. The ID is constructed as lowercase hexadecimal numbers separated by a ':'. This is the same format as the .BR lsusb (8) program. .TP 7 .BI "MatchDriver \*q" matchdriver \*q Check the case-sensitive string .RI \*q matchdriver \*q against the currently configured driver of the device. Ordering of sections using this entry is important since it will not match unless the driver has been set by the config backend or a previous .B InputClass section. .TP 7 .BI "MatchTag \*q" matchtag \*q This entry can be used to check if tags assigned by the config backend matches the .RI \*q matchtag \*q pattern. A match is found if at least one of the tags given in .RI \*q matchtag \*q matches at least one of the tags assigned by the backend. .PP The second type of entry is used to match device types. These entries take a boolean argument similar to .B Option entries. .TP 7 .BI "MatchIsKeyboard \*q" bool \*q .TP 7 .BI "MatchIsPointer \*q" bool \*q .TP 7 .BI "MatchIsJoystick \*q" bool \*q .TP 7 .BI "MatchIsTablet \*q" bool \*q .TP 7 .BI "MatchIsTouchpad \*q" bool \*q .TP 7 .BI "MatchIsTouchscreen \*q" bool \*q .PP When an input device has been matched to the .B InputClass section, any .B Option entries are applied to the device. One .B InputClass specific .B Option is recognized. See the .B InputDevice section above for a description of the remaining .B Option entries. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qIgnore\*q \*q" boolean \*q This optional entry specifies that the device should be ignored entirely, and not added to the server. This can be useful when the device is handled by another program and no X events should be generated. .SH "DEVICE SECTION" The config file may have multiple .B Device sections. There must be at least one, for the video card being used. .PP .B Device sections have the following format: .PP .RS 4 .nf .B "Section \*qDevice\*q" .BI " Identifier \*q" name \*q .BI " Driver \*q" driver \*q .I " entries" .I " ..." .B "EndSection" .fi .RE .PP The .B Identifier and .B Driver entries are required in all .B Device sections. All other entries are optional. .PP The .B Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this graphics device. The .B Driver entry specifies the name of the driver to use for this graphics device. When using the loadable server, the driver module .RI \*q driver \*q will be loaded for each active .B Device section. A .B Device section is considered active if it is referenced by an active .B Screen section. .PP .B Device sections recognise some driver\-independent entries and .BR Options , which are described here. Not all drivers make use of these driver\-independent entries, and many of those that do don't require them to be specified because the information is auto\-detected. See the individual graphics driver manual pages for further information about this, and for a description of the device\-specific options. Note that most of the .B Options listed here (but not the other entries) may be specified in the .B Screen section instead of here in the .B Device section. .TP 7 .BI "BusID \*q" bus\-id \*q This specifies the bus location of the graphics card. For PCI/AGP cards, the .I bus\-id string has the form .BI PCI: bus : device : function (e.g., \(lqPCI:1:0:0\(rq might be appropriate for an AGP card). This field is usually optional in single-head configurations when using the primary graphics card. In multi-head configurations, or when using a secondary graphics card in a single-head configuration, this entry is mandatory. Its main purpose is to make an unambiguous connection between the device section and the hardware it is representing. This information can usually be found by running the pciaccess tool scanpci. .TP 7 .BI "Screen " number This option is mandatory for cards where a single PCI entity can drive more than one display (i.e., multiple CRTCs sharing a single graphics accelerator and video memory). One .B Device section is required for each head, and this parameter determines which head each of the .B Device sections applies to. The legal values of .I number range from 0 to one less than the total number of heads per entity. Most drivers require that the primary screen (0) be present. .TP 7 .BI "Chipset \*q" chipset \*q This usually optional entry specifies the chipset used on the graphics board. In most cases this entry is not required because the drivers will probe the hardware to determine the chipset type. Don't specify it unless the driver-specific documentation recommends that you do. .TP 7 .BI "Ramdac \*q" ramdac\-type \*q This optional entry specifies the type of RAMDAC used on the graphics board. This is only used by a few of the drivers, and in most cases it is not required because the drivers will probe the hardware to determine the RAMDAC type where possible. Don't specify it unless the driver-specific documentation recommends that you do. .TP 7 .BI "DacSpeed " speed .TP 7 .BI "DacSpeed " "speed\-8 speed\-16 speed\-24 speed\-32" This optional entry specifies the RAMDAC speed rating (which is usually printed on the RAMDAC chip). The speed is in MHz. When one value is given, it applies to all framebuffer pixel sizes. When multiple values are given, they apply to the framebuffer pixel sizes 8, 16, 24 and 32 respectively. This is not used by many drivers, and only needs to be specified when the speed rating of the RAMDAC is different from the defaults built in to driver, or when the driver can't auto-detect the correct defaults. Don't specify it unless the driver-specific documentation recommends that you do. .TP 7 .BI "Clocks " "clock ..." specifies the pixel that are on your graphics board. The clocks are in MHz, and may be specified as a floating point number. The value is stored internally to the nearest kHz. The ordering of the clocks is important. It must match the order in which they are selected on the graphics board. Multiple .B Clocks lines may be specified, and each is concatenated to form the list. Most drivers do not use this entry, and it is only required for some older boards with non-programmable clocks. Don't specify this entry unless the driver-specific documentation explicitly recommends that you do. .TP .BI "ClockChip \*q" clockchip\-type \*q This optional entry is used to specify the clock chip type on graphics boards which have a programmable clock generator. Only a few Xorg drivers support programmable clock chips. For details, see the appropriate driver manual page. .TP 7 .BI "VideoRam " "mem" This optional entry specifies the amount of video ram that is installed on the graphics board. This is measured in kBytes. In most cases this is not required because the Xorg server probes the graphics board to determine this quantity. The driver-specific documentation should indicate when it might be needed. .TP 7 .BI "BiosBase " "baseaddress" This optional entry specifies the base address of the video BIOS for the VGA board. This address is normally auto-detected, and should only be specified if the driver-specific documentation recommends it. .TP 7 .BI "MemBase " "baseaddress" This optional entry specifies the memory base address of a graphics board's linear frame buffer. This entry is not used by many drivers, and it should only be specified if the driver-specific documentation recommends it. .TP 7 .BI "IOBase " "baseaddress" This optional entry specifies the IO base address. This entry is not used by many drivers, and it should only be specified if the driver-specific documentation recommends it. .TP 7 .BI "ChipID " "id" This optional entry specifies a numerical ID representing the chip type. For PCI cards, it is usually the device ID. This can be used to override the auto-detection, but that should only be done when the driver-specific documentation recommends it. .TP 7 .BI "ChipRev " "rev" This optional entry specifies the chip revision number. This can be used to override the auto-detection, but that should only be done when the driver-specific documentation recommends it. .TP 7 .BI "TextClockFreq " "freq" This optional entry specifies the pixel clock frequency that is used for the regular text mode. The frequency is specified in MHz. This is rarely used. .TP 7 .BI "Option \*qModeDebug\*q \*q" boolean \*q Enable printing of additional debugging information about modesetting to the server log. .ig .TP 7 This optional entry allows an IRQ number to be specified. .. .TP 7 .B Options Option flags may be specified in the .B Device sections. These include driver\-specific options and driver\-independent options. The former are described in the driver\-specific documentation. Some of the latter are described below in the section about the .B Screen section, and they may also be included here.
.SH "VIDEOADAPTOR SECTION" Nobody wants to say how this works. Maybe nobody knows ...
.SH "MONITOR SECTION" The config file may have multiple .B Monitor sections. There should normally be at least one, for the monitor being used, but a default configuration will be created when one isn't specified. .PP .B Monitor sections have the following format: .PP .RS 4 .nf .B "Section \*qMonitor\*q" .BI " Identifier \*q" name \*q .I " entries" .I " ..." .B "EndSection" .fi .RE .PP The only mandatory entry in a .B Monitor section is the .B Identifier entry. .PP The .B Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this monitor. The .B Monitor section may be used to provide information about the specifications of the monitor, monitor-specific .BR Options , and information about the video modes to use with the monitor. .PP With RandR 1.2-enabled drivers, monitor sections may be tied to specific outputs of the video card. Using the name of the output defined by the video driver plus the identifier of a monitor section, one associates a monitor section with an output by adding an option to the Device section in the following format:
.B Option \*qMonitor-outputname\*q \*qmonitorsection\*q
(for example, .B Option \*qMonitor-VGA\*q \*qVGA monitor\*q for a VGA output) .PP In the absence of specific association of monitor sections to outputs, if a monitor section is present the server will associate it with an output to preserve compatibility for previous single-head configurations. .PP Specifying video modes is optional because the server will use the DDC or other information provided by the monitor to automatically configure the list of modes available. When modes are specified explicitly in the .B Monitor section (with the .BR Modes , .BR ModeLine , or .B UseModes keywords), built-in modes with the same names are not included. Built-in modes with different names are, however, still implicitly included, when they meet the requirements of the monitor. .PP The entries that may be used in .B Monitor sections are described below. .TP 7 .BI "VendorName \*q" vendor \*q This optional entry specifies the monitor's manufacturer. .TP 7 .BI "ModelName \*q" model \*q This optional entry specifies the monitor's model. .TP 7 .BI "HorizSync " "horizsync\-range" gives the range(s) of horizontal sync frequencies supported by the monitor. .I horizsync\-range may be a comma separated list of either discrete values or ranges of values. A range of values is two values separated by a dash. By default the values are in units of kHz. They may be specified in MHz or Hz if .B MHz or .B Hz is added to the end of the line. The data given here is used by the Xorg server to determine if video modes are within the specifications of the monitor. This information should be available in the monitor's handbook. If this entry is omitted, a default range of 28\-33kHz is used. .TP 7 .BI "VertRefresh " "vertrefresh\-range" gives the range(s) of vertical refresh frequencies supported by the monitor. .I vertrefresh\-range may be a comma separated list of either discrete values or ranges of values. A range of values is two values separated by a dash. By default the values are in units of Hz. They may be specified in MHz or kHz if .B MHz or .B kHz is added to the end of the line. The data given here is used by the Xorg server to determine if video modes are within the specifications of the monitor. This information should be available in the monitor's handbook. If this entry is omitted, a default range of 43\-72Hz is used. .TP 7 .BI "DisplaySize " "width height" This optional entry gives the width and height, in millimetres, of the picture area of the monitor. If given this is used to calculate the horizontal and vertical pitch (DPI) of the screen. .TP 7 .BI "Gamma " "gamma\-value" .TP 7 .BI "Gamma " "red\-gamma green\-gamma blue\-gamma" This is an optional entry that can be used to specify the gamma correction for the monitor. It may be specified as either a single value or as three separate RGB values. The values should be in the range 0.1 to 10.0, and the default is 1.0. Not all drivers are capable of using this information. .TP 7 .BI "UseModes \*q" modesection\-id \*q Include the set of modes listed in the .B Modes section called .IR modesection\-id. This makes all of the modes defined in that section available for use by this monitor. .TP 7 .BI "Mode \*q" name \*q This is an optional multi-line entry that can be used to provide definitions for video modes for the monitor. In most cases this isn't necessary because the built-in set of VESA standard modes will be sufficient. The .B Mode keyword indicates the start of a multi-line video mode description. The mode description is terminated with the .B EndMode keyword. The mode description consists of the following entries: .RS 7 .TP 4 .BI "DotClock " clock is the dot (pixel) clock rate to be used for the mode. .TP 4 .BI "HTimings " "hdisp hsyncstart hsyncend htotal" specifies the horizontal timings for the mode. .TP 4 .BI "VTimings " "vdisp vsyncstart vsyncend vtotal" specifies the vertical timings for the mode. .TP 4 .BI "Flags \*q" flag \*q " ..." specifies an optional set of mode flags, each of which is a separate string in double quotes. .B \*qInterlace\*q indicates that the mode is interlaced. .B \*qDoubleScan\*q indicates a mode where each scanline is doubled. .B \*q+HSync\*q and .B \*q\-HSync\*q can be used to select the polarity of the HSync signal. .B \*q+VSync\*q and .B \*q\-VSync\*q can be used to select the polarity of the VSync signal. .B \*qComposite\*q can be used to specify composite sync on hardware where this is supported. Additionally, on some hardware, .B \*q+CSync\*q and .B \*q\-CSync\*q may be used to select the composite sync polarity. .TP 4 .BI "HSkew " hskew specifies the number of pixels (towards the right edge of the screen) by which the display enable signal is to be skewed. Not all drivers use this information. This option might become necessary to override the default value supplied by the server (if any). \(lqRoving\(rq horizontal lines indicate this value needs to be increased. If the last few pixels on a scan line appear on the left of the screen, this value should be decreased. .TP 4 .BI "VScan " vscan specifies the number of times each scanline is painted on the screen. Not all drivers use this information. Values less than 1 are treated as 1, which is the default. Generally, the .B \*qDoubleScan\*q .B Flag mentioned above doubles this value. .RE .TP 7 .BI "ModeLine \*q" name \*q " mode\-description" This entry is a more compact version of the .B Mode entry, and it also can be used to specify video modes for the monitor. is a single line format for specifying video modes. In most cases this isn't necessary because the built\-in set of VESA standard modes will be sufficient. .PP .RS 7 The .I mode\-description is in four sections, the first three of which are mandatory. The first is the dot (pixel) clock. This is a single number specifying the pixel clock rate for the mode in MHz. The second section is a list of four numbers specifying the horizontal timings. These numbers are the .IR hdisp , .IR hsyncstart , .IR hsyncend , and .I htotal values. The third section is a list of four numbers specifying the vertical timings. These numbers are the .IR vdisp , .IR vsyncstart , .IR vsyncend , and .I vtotal values. The final section is a list of flags specifying other characteristics of the mode. .B Interlace indicates that the mode is interlaced. .B DoubleScan indicates a mode where each scanline is doubled. .B +HSync and .B \-HSync can be used to select the polarity of the HSync signal. .B +VSync and .B \-VSync can be used to select the polarity of the VSync signal. .B Composite can be used to specify composite sync on hardware where this is supported. Additionally, on some hardware, .B +CSync and .B \-CSync may be used to select the composite sync polarity. The .B HSkew and .B VScan options mentioned above in the .B Modes entry description can also be used here. .RE .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qDPMS\*q " \*qbool\*q This option controls whether the server should enable the DPMS extension for power management for this screen. The default is to enable the extension. .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qSyncOnGreen\*q " \*qbool\*q This option controls whether the video card should drive the sync signal on the green color pin. Not all cards support this option, and most monitors do not require it. The default is off. .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qPrimary\*q " \*qbool\*q This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be treated as the primary monitor. (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qPreferredMode\*q " \*qstring\*q This optional entry specifies a mode to be marked as the preferred initial mode of the monitor. (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qPosition\*q " "\*qx y\*q" This optional entry specifies the position of the monitor within the X screen. (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qLeftOf\*q " \*qoutput\*q This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be positioned to the left of the output (not monitor) of the given name. (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qRightOf\*q " \*qoutput\*q This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be positioned to the right of the output (not monitor) of the given name. (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qAbove\*q " \*qoutput\*q This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be positioned above the output (not monitor) of the given name. (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) .TP 7 .BI "Option " "\*qBelow\*q " \*qoutput\*q This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be positioned below the output (not monitor) of the given name.
