.SH NAME
xorgcfg - Graphical configuration tool for __xservername__
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xorgcfg
[-config \fIconfigfile\fP] [-modulepath \fImoduledir\fP]
[-fontpath \fIfontsdir\fP] [-toolkitoption ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Xorgcfg
is a tool to configure\fI __xservername__\fP, and can be used to either write the
initial configuration file or make customizations to the current configuration.
.PP
When the \fBDISPLAY\fP environment variable is not set, xorgcfg will run
the command\fI __xservername__ -configure\fP to allow the xserver to detect the
hardware in the computer, and write an initial\fI __xconfigfile__\fP file
in the user's home directory. Then, it will start
__xservername__ and allow customizations.
.PP
If the \fBDISPLAY\fP environment variable is set, xorgcfg will read the
default\fI __xconfigfile__\fP, which may or may not be the one 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 xorgcfg dialog, the
changes made will take place the next time\fI __xservername__\fP is started.
.PP
Xorgcfg 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 xorgcfg's accessx section.
