configx(1) — BSD/386 1.0

CONFIGX(1)                   BSD Reference Manual                   CONFIGX(1)

NAME
     configx - generate /usr/X11/lib/X11/Xconfig file for X server

SYNOPSIS
     configx

DESCRIPTION
     Configx is an interactive program which queries the user for information
     about their display adapter, mouse, and monitor.  This information is
     used to generate the file /usr/X11/lib/X11/Xconfig, which is read by the
     BSD/386 X server at startup to determine the hardware environment.

     Configx has no options.

     Configx will guess at monitor timing values if the user specifies that
     their monitor is not in the known monitor database.  If the resulting
     Xconfig file is not satisfactory (X server display flickers, is too big
     or too small, or will not sync up), the user should peruse
     /usr/X11/lib/X11/Xconfig.hints and then modify the values in the Xconfig
     until suitable.  Unfortunately, this is somewhat of a black art.

FILES
     /usr/libdata/configx.data  Known monitor, adapter, and mouse database
