.SH NAME
xf86cfg - Graphical configuration tool for XFree86 4.0
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xf86cfg
[-xf86config \fIXF86Config\fP] [-modulepath \fImoduledir\fP]
[-fontpath \fIfontsdir\fP] [-toolkitoption ...]
.SH DESCRITPION
.I Xf86cfg
is a tool to configure \fIXFree86 4.0\fP, and can be used to either write the
initial configuration file or make customizations to the current configuration.
.PP
When the \fBDISPLAY\fP environment variable is not set, xf86cfg will run
the command \fIXFree86 -configure\fP to allow the xserver detect the
hardware in the computer, and write an initial \fIXF86Config\fP file
in the user's home directory. Then, it will start XFree86 and allow
customizations.
.br
If the \fBDISPLAY\fP environment variable is set, xf86cfg will read the
default \fIXF86Config\fP, that may not be the same being used by the current
server, and allow customizations.
.PP
To use an alternative location for modules or fonts the respective search
paths may be specified.
.PP
Unless there is an \fBApply\fP button in the current xf86cfg dialog, the
changes made will take place the next time \fIXFree86\fP is started.
.PP
Xf86cfg allows addition and configuration of new devices, such as video cards,
monitors, keyboards and mouses.
.PP
Screen layout configuration for xinerama or traditional multi-head is also
available.
.PP
Modelines can be configured or optimized.

AccessX basic configurations can be made in the xf86cfg's accessx section.
