NAME

       xf86cfg - Graphical configuration tool for XFree86 4.0


SYNOPSIS

       xf86cfg	[-xf86config  XF86Config] [-modulepath moduledir]
       [-fontpath fontsdir] [-toolkitoption ...]


DESCRITPION

       Xf86cfg is a tool to configure XFree86  4.0,  and  can  be
       used  to	 either	 write	the initial configuration file or
       make customizations to the current configuration.

       When the DISPLAY environment variable is not set,  xf86cfg
       will  run  the  command	XFree86	 -configure  to allow the
       xserver detect the hardware in the computer, and write  an
       initial	XF86Config  file  in  the  user's home directory.
       Then, it will start XFree86 and allow customizations.
       If the DISPLAY environment variable is set,  xf86cfg  will
       read  the  default  XF86Config,	that  may not be the same
       being used by the current  server,  and	allow  customiza
       tions.

       To  use	an  alternative location for modules or fonts the
       respective search paths may be specified.

       Unless there is an Apply button	in  the	 current  xf86cfg
       dialog,	the  changes  made  will take place the next time
       XFree86 is started.


       Xf86cfg allows addition and configuration of new	 devices,
       such as video cards, monitors, keyboards and mouses.

       Screen  layout  configuration  for xinerama or traditional
       multi-head is also available.

       Modelines can be configured or optimized.

       AccessX basic configurations can be made in the	xf86cfg's
       accessx section.
