WARNING: Faulty X Configurations Can Damage Your Hardware
Be very careful when configuring your X Window System. Never start the X
Window System until the configuration is finished. A wrongly configured system
can cause irreparable damage to your hardware (this applies especially to fixed-
frequency monitors). The creators of this book and SUSE Linux Enterprise
cannot be held responsible for any resulting damage. This information has been
carefully researched, but this does not guarantee that all methods presented
here are correct and cannot damage your hardware.
The commands
sax2
and
X -configure
create the file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
.
This is the primary configuration file for the X Window System. Find all the settings
here concerning your graphics card, mouse, and monitor.
IMPORTANT: Using X -configure
Use
X -configure
to configure your X setup if previous tries with SUSE
Linux Enterprise's SaX2 have failed. If your setup involves proprietary binary-
only drivers,
X -configure
cannot work.
The following sections describe the structure of the configuration file
/etc/X11/
xorg.conf
. It consists of several sections, each one dealing with a certain aspect of
the configuration. Each section starts with the keyword
Section <designation>
and ends with
EndSection
. The following convention applies to all sections:
Section designation
entry 1
entry 2
entry n
EndSection
The section types available are listed in Table 26.1, “Sections in /etc/X11/xorg.conf”
(page 483).
