NAME
     xorgcfg - Graphical configuration tool for Xorg

SYNOPSIS
     xorgcfg  [-config	configfile] [-modulepath moduledir] [-fontpath fontsdir]
     [-toolkitoption ...]

DESCRIPTION
     Xorgcfg is a tool to configure Xorg, and can be used to  either  write  the
     initial configuration file or make customizations to the current configura-
     tion.

     When the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, xorgcfg will run the com-
     mand  Xorg  -configure  to  allow the xserver to detect the hardware in the
     computer, and write an initial xorg.conf file in the user's home directory.
     Then, it will start Xorg and allow customizations.

     If the DISPLAY environment variable is set, xorgcfg will read  the  default
     xorg.conf,  which	may  or  may  not  be  the one being used by the current
     server, and allow customizations.

     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 xorgcfg dialog, the changes
     made will take place the next time Xorg is started.

     Xorgcfg 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 xorgcfg's accessx section.

OPTIONS
     -config
	     Specifies an alternate xorg.conf file for configuration.

     -modulepath
	     Specifies where xorgcfg, and the server it may start,  should  look
	     for Xorg modules.

     -serverpath
	     Specifies	the complete path, not including the binary name, of the
	     Xorg binary.

     -fontpath
	     Specifies the path to the fonts that should be used by  the  server
	     started by xorgcfg.

     -rgbpath
	     Specifies	the  path to the rgb.txt file that should be used by the
	     server started by xorgcfg, if any.

     -textmode
	     If xorgcfg was compiled with support for ncurses, this option makes
	     xorgcfg enter a text mode interface.

     -nomodules
	     When built with support for loading modules, this	options  changes
	     xorgcfg  behaviour,  so that it will not load any modules, and thus
	     start quicker.
