Xorg X server

.SH INTRODUCTION
|
|
.B Xorg
|
|
supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
|
|
run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
|
|
xorg.conf 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
|
|
Xorg(@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 Xorg
|
|
uses a configuration file called
|
|
.I xorg.conf
|
|
and files ending in the suffix
|
|
.I .conf
|
|
from the directory
|
|
.I @xconfigdir@
|
|
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:

specified in the active

.B ServerLayout
|

The options recognised by this section are:
|

.TP 7
|
|
.BI "Option \*qDebug\*q \*q" string \*q
|

This comma-separated list provides a way to control various debugging switches

which instructs glamor to enable some unstable buffer management code.
|
|
.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.

When this option is enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning and

.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
|
|
or \(lqcyg\(rq prefixes, or the \(lq.so\(rq or \(lq.dll\(rq suffixes.
|
|
.PP
|

.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

Recent X servers employ HAL or udev backends for input device enumeration
|
|
and input hotplugging. It is usually not
|
|
necessary to provide
|
|
.B InputDevice
|
|
sections in the xorg.conf if hotplugging is in use (i.e. AutoAddDevices is
|
|
enabled). If hotplugging is enabled,
|

If hotplugging is disabled, there will normally

|
|
and one for the core pointer.

If there is no match there, the first

|
.B Identifier
|
|
entry specifies the unique name for this input class.
|
|
The
|
|
.B Driver

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
|

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:

For PCI/AGP cards,
|
|
the

.I bus\-id
|
|
string has the form
|
|
.BI PCI: bus @ domain : device : function
|

"@domain" part can be left out for PCI domain 0. 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

This information can usually be found by running the pciaccess tool
|
|
scanpci.

|
|
and video memory).
|

One
|

Don't specify it unless the driver-specific documentation recommends that you
|
|
do.

|
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

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.

|
(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 Mode ,
|
|
.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.
|

|
|
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

|
|
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 "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.

.BI "Option \*qNoInt10\*q \*q" boolean \*q
|

Disables the Int10 module, a module that uses the int10 call to the BIOS
|
|
of the graphics card to initialize it.
|

Default: false.

.PP
|
|
Each
|
|
.B Screen
|
|
section may optionally contain one or more
|
|
.B Display
|
|
subsections.
|
|
Those subsections provide depth/fbbpp specific configuration information,
|
|
and the one chosen depends on the depth and/or fbbpp that is being used for
|
|
the screen.
|
|
The
|
|
.B Display
|
|
subsection format is described in the section below.
|
|
|
|
.SH "DISPLAY SUBSECTION"
|
|
Each
|
|
.B Screen
|
|
section may have multiple
|
|
.B Display
|
|
subsections.
|
|
The \(lqactive\(rq
|
|
.B Display
|
|
subsection is the first that matches the depth and/or fbbpp values being
|
|
used, or failing that, the first that has neither a depth or fbbpp value
|
|
specified.
|
|
The
|
|
.B Display
|
|
subsections are optional.
|
|
When there isn't one that matches the depth and/or fbbpp values being used,
|
|
all the parameters that can be specified here fall back to their defaults.
|

.BI "Depth " depth
|
|
This entry specifies what colour depth the
|
|
.B Display
|
|
subsection is to be used for.
|
|
This entry is usually specified, but it may be omitted to create a match\-all
|
|
.B Display
|
|
subsection or when wishing to match only against the
|
|
.B FbBpp
|
|
parameter.
|
|
The range of
|
|
.I depth
|
|
values that are allowed depends on the driver.
|
|
Most drivers support 8, 15, 16 and 24.
|
|
Some also support 1 and/or 4, and some may support other values (like 30).
|
|
Note:
|
|
.I depth
|
|
means the number of bits in a pixel that are actually used to determine
|
|
the pixel colour.
|
|
32 is not a valid
|
|
.I depth
|
|
value.
|
|
Most hardware that uses 32 bits per pixel only uses 24 of them to hold the
|
|
colour information, which means that the colour depth is 24, not 32.
|
|
.TP 7
|
|
.BI "FbBpp " bpp
|
|
This entry specifies the framebuffer format this
|
|
.B Display

subsection is to be used for.
|
|
This entry is only needed when providing depth 24 configurations that allow
|
|
a choice between a 24 bpp packed framebuffer format and a 32bpp sparse
|
|
framebuffer format.
|
|
In most cases this entry should not be used.
|

.BI "Weight " "red\-weight green\-weight blue\-weight"
|
|
This optional entry specifies the relative RGB weighting to be used
|
|
for a screen is being used at depth 16 for drivers that allow multiple
|
|
formats.
|
|
This may also be specified from the command line with the
|

|
option (see
|
|
.BR Xorg(@appmansuffix@)).
|
|
.TP 7
|
|
.BI "Virtual " "xdim ydim"
|
|
This optional entry specifies the virtual screen resolution to be used.
|
|
.I xdim
|
|
must be a multiple of either 8 or 16 for most drivers, and a multiple
|
|
of 32 when running in monochrome mode.
|
|
The given value will be rounded down if this is not the case.
|
|
Video modes which are too large for the specified virtual size will be
|
|
rejected.
|
|
If this entry is not present, the virtual screen resolution will be set to
|
|
accommodate all the valid video modes given in the
|
|
.B Modes
|
|
entry.
|
|
Some drivers/hardware combinations do not support virtual screens.
|
|
Refer to the appropriate driver\-specific documentation for details.
|
|
.TP 7
|
|
.BI "ViewPort " "x0 y0"
|
|
This optional entry sets the upper left corner of the initial display.
|
|
This is only relevant when the virtual screen resolution is different
|
|
from the resolution of the initial video mode.
|
|
If this entry is not given, then the initial display will be centered in
|
|
the virtual display area.
|
|
.TP 7
|
|
.BI "Modes \*q" mode\-name \*q " ..."
|
|
This optional entry specifies the list of video modes to use.
|
|
Each
|
|
.I mode\-name
|
|
specified must be in double quotes.
|
|
They must correspond to those specified or referenced in the appropriate
|
|
.B Monitor
|
|
section (including implicitly referenced built\-in VESA standard modes).
|
|
The server will delete modes from this list which don't satisfy various
|
|
requirements.
|
|
The first valid mode in this list will be the default display mode for
|
|
startup.
|
|
The list of valid modes is converted internally into a circular list.
|
|
It is possible to switch to the next mode with
|
|
.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad\-Plus
|
|
and to the previous mode with
|
|
.BR Ctrl+Alt+Keypad\-Minus .
|
|
When this entry is omitted, the valid modes referenced by the appropriate
|
|
.B Monitor
|
|
section will be used. If the
|
|
.B Monitor
|
|
section contains no modes, then the selection will be taken from the

built-in VESA standard modes.

|
|
.RB ( InputDevice
|
|
sections) to form a complete configuration.

a session.
|

The
|
|
.I screen\-id
|
|
field is mandatory, and specifies the
|
|
.B Screen
|
|
section being referenced.
|
|
The
|
|
.I screen\-num
|

field is optional, and may be used to specify the screen number
|
|
in multi\-head configurations.
|

When this field is omitted, the screens will be numbered in the order that
|
|
they are listed in.
|
|
The numbering starts from 0, and must be consecutive.
|
|
The
|
|
.I position\-information
|
|
field describes the way multiple screens are positioned.
|
|
There are a number of different ways that this information can be provided:
|

.RS 7
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.I "x y"
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.BI "Absolute " "x y"

These both specify that the upper left corner's coordinates are
|
|
.RI ( x , y ).
|
|
The
|
|
.B Absolute
|
|
keyword is optional.
|
|
Some older versions of XFree86 (4.2 and earlier) don't recognise the
|
|
.B Absolute
|
|
keyword, so it's safest to just specify the coordinates without it.
|
|
.TP 4

.BI "Below \*q" screen\-id \*q
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
.BI "Relative \*q" screen\-id \*q " x y"
|
|
These give the screen's location relative to another screen.
|
|
The first four position the screen immediately to the right, left, above or
|
|
below the other screen.
|
|
When positioning to the right or left, the top edges are aligned.
|
|
When positioning above or below, the left edges are aligned.
|

|
|
relative to the origin of another screen.

Normally at least two are required, one each for the core pointer and
|

|
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

Multiple
