supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
-__xconfigfile__ configuration file, auto-detection, and fallback defaults.
-When the same information is supplied in more than one way, the highest

-and __xservername__(__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
