NAME
       xorg.conf and xorg.conf.d - configuration files for Xorg X server

INTRODUCTION
       Xorg  supports  several  mechanisms  for supplying/obtaining configuration and run-time parameters: command
       line options, environment variables, the xorg.conf and xorg.conf.d configuration files, auto-detection, and
       fallback defaults. When the same information is supplied in more than one way, the highest precedence mech‐
       anism is used. The list of mechanisms is ordered from highest precedence  to  lowest.  Note  that  not  all
       parameters  can  be  supplied via all methods. The available command line options and environment variables
       (and some defaults) are described in the Xserver(1) and  Xorg(1)  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 manual page.

DESCRIPTION
       Xorg uses a configuration file called xorg.conf and files ending in the suffix  .conf  from  the  directory
       xorg.conf.d  for  its  initial  setup.   The  xorg.conf configuration file is searched for in the following
       places when the server is started as a normal user:

           /etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /usr/etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG
           /usr/etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG
           /etc/X11/xorg.conf
           /etc/xorg.conf
           /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname>
           /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf
           /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname>
           /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf

       where <cmdline> is a relative path (with no “..”  components)  specified  with  the  -config  command  line
       option,  $XORGCONFIG is the relative path (with no “..” components) specified by that environment variable,
       and <hostname> is the machine's hostname as reported by gethostname(3).

       When the Xorg server is started by the “root” user, the config file search locations are as follows:

           <cmdline>
           /etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /usr/etc/X11/<cmdline>
           $XORGCONFIG
           /etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG
           /usr/etc/X11/$XORGCONFIG
           /etc/X11/xorg.conf
           /etc/xorg.conf
           /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname>
           /usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf
           /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.<hostname>
           /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf

       where <cmdline> is the path specified with the -config command line option (which may be absolute or  rela‐
       tive),  $XORGCONFIG is the path specified by that environment variable (absolute or relative), $HOME is the
       path specified by that environment variable (usually the home directory), and <hostname> is  the  machine's
       hostname as reported by gethostname(3).

       Additional  configuration files are searched for in the following directories when the server is started as
       a normal user:

           /etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
           /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

       where <cmdline> is a relative path (with no “..” components) specified with  the  -configdir  command  line
       option.

       When the Xorg server is started by the “root” user, the config directory search locations are as follows:

           <cmdline>
           /etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /etc/X11/<cmdline>
           /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
           /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

       where  <cmdline>  is  the  path specified with the -configdir command line option (which may be absolute or
       relative).

       Finally, configuration files will also be searched for in directories reserved for system use. These are to
       separate  configuration  files  from  the  vendor or 3rd party packages from those of local administration.
       These files are found in the following directories:

           /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
           /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

       The xorg.conf and xorg.conf.d files are composed of a number of sections which may be present in any order,
       or omitted to use default configuration values.  Each section has the form:

           Section  "SectionName"
               SectionEntry
               ...
           EndSection

       The section names are:

           Files          File pathnames
           ServerFlags    Server flags
           Module         Dynamic module loading
           Extensions     Extension enabling
           InputDevice    Input device description
           InputClass     Input class description
           Device         Graphics device description
           VideoAdaptor   Xv video adaptor description
           Monitor        Monitor description
           Modes          Video modes descriptions
           Screen         Screen configuration
           ServerLayout   Overall layout
           DRI            DRI-specific configuration
           Vendor         Vendor-specific configuration

       The following obsolete section names are still recognised for compatibility purposes.  In new config files,
       the InputDevice section should be used instead.

           Keyboard       Keyboard configuration
           Pointer        Pointer/mouse configuration

       The old XInput section is no longer recognised.

       The ServerLayout sections are at the highest level.  They bind together the input and output  devices  that
       will  be  used  in a session.  The input devices are described in the InputDevice sections.  Output devices
       usually consist of multiple independent components (e.g., a graphics board and a monitor).  These  multiple
       components are bound together in the Screen sections, and it is these that are referenced by the ServerLay‐
       out section.  Each Screen section binds together a graphics board and a monitor.  The graphics  boards  are
       described in the Device sections, and the monitors are described in the Monitor sections.

       Config  file keywords are case-insensitive, and “_” characters are ignored.  Most strings (including Option
       names) are also case-insensitive, and insensitive to white space and “_” characters.

       Each config file entry usually takes up a single line in the file.  They consist of  a  keyword,  which  is
       possibly  followed  by  one  or more arguments, with the number and types of the arguments depending on the
       keyword.  The argument types are:

           Integer     an integer number in decimal, hex or octal
           Real        a floating point number
           String      a string enclosed in double quote marks (")

       Note: hex integer values must be prefixed with “0x”, and octal values with “0”.

       A special keyword called Option may be used to provide free-form data to various components of the  server.
       The  Option  keyword  takes  either  one  or  two  string arguments.  The first is the option name, and the
       optional second argument is the option value.  Some commonly used option value types include:

           Integer     an integer number in decimal, hex or octal
           Real        a floating point number
           String      a sequence of characters
           Boolean     a boolean value (see below)
           Frequency   a frequency value (see below)

       Note that all Option values, not just strings, must be enclosed in quotes.

       Boolean options may optionally have a value specified.  When no value is specified, the option's  value  is
       TRUE.  The following boolean option values are recognised as TRUE:

           1, on, true, yes

       and the following boolean option values are recognised as FALSE:

           0, off, false, no

       If an option name is prefixed with "No", then the option value is negated.

       Example: the following option entries are equivalent:

           Option "Accel"   "Off"
           Option "NoAccel"
           Option "NoAccel" "On"
           Option "Accel"   "false"
           Option "Accel"   "no"

       Frequency  option  values consist of a real number that is optionally followed by one of the following fre‐
       quency units:

           Hz, k, kHz, M, MHz

       When the unit name is omitted, the correct units will be determined from the value and the expectations  of
       the  appropriate  range of the value.  It is recommended that the units always be specified when using fre‐
       quency option values to avoid any errors in determining the value.

FILES SECTION
       The Files section is used to specify some path names required by the server.  Some of these paths can  also
       be  set  from the command line (see Xserver(1) and Xorg(1)).  The command line settings override the values
       specified in the config file.  The Files section is optional, as are all of the entries that may appear  in
       it.

       The entries that can appear in this section are:

       FontPath "path"
              sets the search path for fonts.  This path is a comma separated list of font path elements which the
              Xorg server searches for font databases.  Multiple FontPath entries may be specified, and they  will
              be  concatenated  to  build  up the fontpath used by the server.  Font path elements can be absolute
              directory paths, catalogue directories or a font server identifier. The formats of the later two are
              explained below:

              Catalogue directories:

                  Catalogue  directories  can  be specified using the prefix catalogue: before the directory name.
                  The directory can then be populated with symlinks pointing to the real font  directories,  using
                  the following syntax in the symlink name:

                      <identifier>:[attribute]:pri=<priority>

                  where  <identifier>  is  an  alphanumeric  identifier, [attribute] is an attribute which will be
                  passed to the underlying FPE and <priority> is a number used to order the fontfile  FPEs.  Exam‐
                  ples:

                      75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi
                      gscript:pri=60 -> /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
                      misc:unscaled:pri=10 -> /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc

              Font server identifiers:

                  Font server identifiers have the form:

                      <trans>/<hostname>:<port-number>

                  where  <trans>  is  the  transport  type  to  use  to connect to the font server (e.g., unix for
                  UNIX-domain sockets or tcp for a TCP/IP connection), <hostname> is the hostname of  the  machine
                  running  the font server, and <port-number> is the port number that the font server is listening
                  on (usually 7100).

              When this entry is not specified in the config file,  the  server  falls  back  to  the  compiled-in
              default  font path, which contains the following font path elements (which can be set inside a cata‐
              logue directory):

                  /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/
                  /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/
                  /usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF/
                  /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/
                  /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/
                  /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/

              Font path elements that are found to be invalid are removed from  the  font  path  when  the  server
              starts up.

       ModulePath "path"
              sets  the  search  path  for  loadable  Xorg server modules.  This path is a comma separated list of
              directories which the Xorg server searches for loadable modules  loading  in  the  order  specified.
              Multiple  ModulePath  entries  may  be  specified, and they will be concatenated to build the module
              search path used by the server.  The default module path is

                  /usr/lib/xorg/modules

       XkbDir "path"
              sets the base directory for keyboard layout files.  The -xkbdir command line option can be  used  to
              override this.  The default directory is

                  /usr/share/X11/xkb

SERVERFLAGS SECTION
       In addition to options specific to this section (described below), the ServerFlags section is used to spec‐
       ify some global Xorg server options.  All of the entries in this section are Options, although for compati‐
       bility  purposes some of the old style entries are still recognised.  Those old style entries are not docu‐
       mented here, and using them is discouraged.  The ServerFlags section is optional, as are the  entries  that
       may be specified in it.

       Options  specified in this section (with the exception of the "DefaultServerLayout" Option) may be overrid‐
       den by Options specified in the active ServerLayout section.  Options with  command  line  equivalents  are
       overridden when their command line equivalent is used.  The options recognised by this section are:

       Option "DefaultServerLayout"  "layout-id"
              This  specifies  the  default ServerLayout section to use in the absence of the -layout command line
              option.

       Option "NoTrapSignals"  "boolean"
              This prevents the Xorg server from trapping a range of unexpected fatal signals and exiting cleanly.
              Instead,  the Xorg server will die and drop core where the fault occurred.  The default behaviour is
              for the Xorg server to exit cleanly, but still drop a core file.  In general you never want  to  use
              this  option  unless  you  are debugging an Xorg server problem and know how to deal with the conse‐
              quences.

       Option "UseSIGIO"  "boolean"
              This controls whether the Xorg server requests that events from input  devices  be  reported  via  a
              SIGIO  signal  handler  (also known as SIGPOLL on some platforms), or only reported via the standard
              select(3) loop.  The default behaviour is platform specific.   In general you do  not  want  to  use
              this  option  unless you are debugging the Xorg server, or working around a specific bug until it is
              fixed, and understand the consequences.

       Option "DontVTSwitch"  "boolean"
              This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Fn sequence (where Fn refers to one of the numbered  function
              keys).   That sequence is normally used to switch to another "virtual terminal" on operating systems
              that have this feature.  When this option is enabled, that key sequence has no special  meaning  and
              is passed to clients.  Default: off.

       Option "DontZap"  "boolean"
              This  disallows the use of the Terminate_Server XKB action (usually on Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, depending
              on XKB options).  This action is normally used to terminate the Xorg server.  When  this  option  is
              enabled, the action has no effect.  Default: off.

       Option "DontZoom"  "boolean"
              This  disallows  the  use  of  the  Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus and Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus sequences.  These
              sequences allows you to switch between  video  modes.   When  this  option  is  enabled,  those  key
              sequences have no special meaning and are passed to clients.  Default: off.

       Option "DisableVidModeExtension"  "boolean"
              This  disables  the  parts  of the VidMode extension used by the xvidtune client that can be used to
              change the video modes.  Default: the VidMode extension is enabled.

       Option "AllowNonLocalXvidtune"  "boolean"
              This allows the xvidtune client (and other clients that use the VidMode extension) to  connect  from
              another host.  Default: off.

       Option "AllowMouseOpenFail"  "boolean"
              This tells the mousedrv(4) and vmmouse(4) drivers to not report failure if the mouse device can't be
              opened/initialised.  It has no effect on the evdev(4) or other drivers.  Default: false.

       Option "VTSysReq"  "boolean"
              enables the SYSV-style VT switch sequence for non-SYSV systems which  support  VT  switching.   This
              sequence  is  Alt-SysRq followed by a function key (Fn).  This prevents the Xorg server trapping the
              keys used for the default VT switch sequence, which means that clients can  access  them.   Default:
              off.

       Option "BlankTime"  "time"
              sets  the  inactivity  timeout for the blank phase of the screensaver.  time is in minutes.  This is
              equivalent to the Xorg server's -s flag, and the value can be  changed  at  run-time  with  xset(1).
              Default: 10 minutes.

       Option "StandbyTime"  "time"
              sets  the  inactivity timeout for the standby phase of DPMS mode.  time is in minutes, and the value
              can be changed at run-time with xset(1).  Default: 10 minutes.  This is only suitable for VESA  DPMS
              compatible  monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers.  It is only enabled for screens
              that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below).

       Option "SuspendTime"  "time"
              sets the inactivity timeout for the suspend phase of DPMS mode.  time is in minutes, and  the  value
              can  be changed at run-time with xset(1).  Default: 10 minutes.  This is only suitable for VESA DPMS
              compatible monitors, and may not be supported by all video drivers.  It is only enabled for  screens
              that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below).

       Option "OffTime"  "time"
              sets  the  inactivity timeout for the off phase of DPMS mode.  time is in minutes, and the value can
              be changed at run-time with xset(1).  Default: 10 minutes.  This is only suitable for VESA DPMS com‐
              patible  monitors,  and  may  not be supported by all video drivers.  It is only enabled for screens
              that have the "DPMS" option set (see the MONITOR section below).

       Option "Pixmap"  "bpp"
              This sets the pixmap format to use for depth 24.  Allowed values for bpp are 24 and 32.  Default: 32
              unless  driver  constraints  don't allow this (which is rare).  Note: some clients don't behave well
              when this value is set to 24.

       Option "PC98"  "boolean"
              Specify that the machine is a Japanese PC-98 machine.  This should not be enabled for anything other
              than the Japanese-specific PC-98 architecture.  Default: auto-detected.

       Option "NoPM"  "boolean"
              Disables  something  to do with power management events.  Default: PM enabled on platforms that sup‐
              port it.

       Option "Xinerama"  "boolean"
              enable or disable XINERAMA extension.  Default is disabled.

       Option "AIGLX" "boolean"
              enable or disable AIGLX. AIGLX is enabled by default.

       Option "DRI2" "boolean"
              enable or disable DRI2. DRI2 is disabled by default.

       Option "GlxVisuals" "string"
              This option controls how many GLX visuals the GLX modules sets up.  The default  value  is  typical,
              which  will  setup  up  a  typical subset of the GLXFBConfigs provided by the driver as GLX visuals.
              Other options are minimal, which will set up the minimal set allowed by the  GLX  specification  and
              all which will setup GLX visuals for all GLXFBConfigs.

       Option "UseDefaultFontPath" "boolean"
              Include the default font path even if other paths are specified in xorg.conf. If enabled, other font
              paths are included as well. Enabled by default.

       Option "IgnoreABI" "boolean"
              Allow modules built for a different, potentially incompatible version of the X server to load.  Dis‐
              abled by default.

       Option "AutoAddDevices" "boolean"
              If this option is disabled, then no devices will be added from HAL events.  Enabled by default.

       Option "AutoEnableDevices" "boolean"
              If  this  option  is  disabled,  then  the devices will be added (and the DevicePresenceNotify event
              sent), but not enabled, thus leaving policy up to the client.  Enabled by default.

       Option "Log" "string"
              This option controls whether the log is flushed and/or synced to disk after each message.   Possible
              values are flush or sync.  Unset by default.

MODULE SECTION
       The  Module section is used to specify which Xorg server modules should be loaded.  This section is ignored
       when the Xorg server is built in static form.  The type of modules normally loaded in this section are Xorg
       server  extension modules.  Most other module types are loaded automatically when they are needed via other
       mechanisms.  The Module section is optional, as are all of the entries that may be specified in it.

       Entries in this section may be in two forms.  The first and most commonly used form is an entry  that  uses
       the Load keyword, as described here:

       Load  "modulename"
              This instructs the server to load the module called modulename.  The module name given should be the
              module's standard name, not the module file name.  The standard name is case-sensitive, and does not
              include the “lib” prefix, or the “.a”, “.o”, or “.so” suffixes.

              Example: the DRI extension module can be loaded with the following entry:

                  Load "dri"

       Disable  "modulename"
              This  instructs  the  server  to  not load the module called modulename.  Some modules are loaded by
              default in the server, and this overrides that default. If a Load instruction is given for the  same
              module,  it overrides the Disable instruction and the module is loaded. The module name given should
              be the module's standard name, not the module file name. As with the Load instruction, the  standard
              name is case-sensitive, and does not include the "lib" prefix, or the ".a", ".o", or ".so" suffixes.

       The  second form of entry is a SubSection, with the subsection name being the module name, and the contents
       of the SubSection being Options that are passed to the module when it is loaded.

       Example: the extmod module (which contains a miscellaneous group of server extensions) can be loaded,  with
       the XFree86-DGA extension disabled by using the following entry:

           SubSection "extmod"
              Option  "omit XFree86-DGA"
           EndSubSection

       Modules  are  searched  for  in each directory specified in the ModulePath search path, and in the drivers,
       extensions, input, internal, and multimedia subdirectories of each of those directories.   In  addition  to
       this, operating system specific subdirectories of all the above are searched first if they exist.

       To see what extension modules are available, check the extensions subdirectory under:

           /usr/lib/xorg/modules

       The “extmod”, “dbe”, “dri”, “dri2”, “glx”, and “record” extension modules are loaded automatically, if they
       are present, unless disabled with "Disable" entries.  It is recommended that at  very  least  the  “extmod”
       extension  module  be loaded.  If it isn't, some commonly used server extensions (like the SHAPE extension)
       will not be available.

EXTENSIONS SECTION
       The Extensions section is used to specify which X11 protocol extensions should be enabled or disabled.  The
       Extensions section is optional, as are all of the entries that may be specified in it.

       Entries  in  this section are listed as Option statements with the name of the extension as the first argu‐
       ment, and a boolean value as the second.  The extension name is case-sensitive, and matches the form  shown
       in the output of "Xorg -extension ?".

              Example: the MIT-SHM extension can be disabled with the following entry:

                  Section "Extensions"
                      Option "MIT-SHM" "Disable"
                  EndSection

INPUTDEVICE SECTION
       The  config  file may have multiple InputDevice sections.  Recent X servers employ HAL or udev backends for
       input device enumeration and input hotplugging. It is usually not necessary to provide InputDevice sections
       in the xorg.conf if hotplugging is in use. If hotplugging is enabled, InputDevice sections using the mouse,
       kbd and vmmouse driver will be ignored.

       If hotplugging is disabled, there will normally be at least two: one for the core  (primary)  keyboard  and
       one  for the core pointer.  If either of these two is missing, a default configuration for the missing ones
       will be used. In the absence of an explicitly specified core input device, the first InputDevice marked  as
       CorePointer  (or  CoreKeyboard)  is  used.  If there is no match there, the first InputDevice that uses the
       “mouse” (or “kbd”) driver is used.  The final fallback is to use  built-in  default  configurations.   Cur‐
       rently the default configuration may not work as expected on all platforms.

       InputDevice sections have the following format:

           Section "InputDevice"
               Identifier "name"
               Driver     "inputdriver"
               options
               ...
           EndSection

       The  Identifier  and  Driver  entries  are  required  in  all  InputDevice sections.  All other entries are
       optional.

       The Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this input device.  The Driver entry specifies the  name
       of  the  driver  to  use  for  this  input device.  When using the loadable server, the input driver module
       "inputdriver" will be loaded for each active InputDevice section.  An  InputDevice  section  is  considered
       active  if  it  is  referenced  by  an active ServerLayout section, if it is referenced by the -keyboard or
       -pointer command line options, or if it is selected implicitly as the core pointer or  keyboard  device  in
       the  absence  of such explicit references.  The most commonly used input drivers are evdev(4) on Linux sys‐
       tems, and kbd(4) and mousedrv(4) on other platforms.

       InputDevice sections recognise some driver-independent Options, which are described here.  See the individ‐
       ual input driver manual pages for a description of the device-specific options.

       Option "AutoServerLayout"  "boolean"
              Always  add the device to the ServerLayout section used by this instance of the server. This affects
              implied layouts as well as explicit layouts specified in the configuration  and/or  on  the  command
              line.

       Option "CorePointer"
              Deprecated, see Floating

       Option "CoreKeyboard"
              Deprecated, see Floating

       Option "AlwaysCore"  "boolean"
              Deprecated, see Floating

       Option "SendCoreEvents"  "boolean"
              Deprecated, see Floating


       Option "Floating"  "boolean"
              When  enabled,  the  input  device  is set up floating and does not report events through any master
              device or control a cursor. The device is only available to clients using the X Input Extension API.
              This  option  is  disabled by default.  The options CorePointer, CoreKeyboard, AlwaysCore, and Send‐
              CoreEvents, are the inverse of option Floating (i.e.  SendCoreEvents "on" is equivalent to  Floating
              "off" ).

              This  option  controls the startup behavior only, a device may be reattached or set floating at run‐
              time.

       For pointing devices, the following options control how the pointer  is  accelerated  or  decelerated  with
       respect to physical device motion. Most of these can be adjusted at runtime, see the xinput(1) man page for
       details. Only the most important acceleration options are discussed here.

       Option "AccelerationProfile"  "integer"
              Select the profile. In layman's terms, the profile constitutes the "feeling"  of  the  acceleration.
              More  formally,  it  defines how the transfer function (actual acceleration as a function of current
              device velocity and acceleration controls) is constructed. This is mainly a matter of personal pref‐
              erence.

              0      classic (mostly compatible)
             -1      none (only constant deceleration is applied)
              1      device-dependent
              2      polynomial (polynomial function)
              3      smooth linear (soft knee, then linear)
              4      simple (normal when slow, otherwise accelerated)
              5      power (power function)
              6      linear (more speed, more acceleration)
              7      limited (like linear, but maxes out at threshold)

       Option "ConstantDeceleration"  "real"
              Makes the pointer go deceleration times slower than normal. Most useful for high-resolution devices.

       Option "AdaptiveDeceleration"  "real"
              Allows to actually decelerate the pointer when going slow. At most, it will be adaptive deceleration
              times slower. Enables precise pointer placement without sacrificing speed.

       Option "AccelerationScheme"  "string"
              Selects the scheme, which is the underlying algorithm.

              predictable   default algorithm (behaving more predictable)
              lightweight   old acceleration code (as specified in the X protocol spec)
              none          no acceleration or deceleration

       Option "AccelerationNumerator"  "integer"

       Option "AccelerationDenominator"  "integer"
              Set numerator and denominator of the acceleration factor. The  acceleration  factor  is  a  rational
              which,  together  with  threshold, can be used to tweak profiles to suit the users needs. The simple
              and limited profiles use it directly (i.e. they accelerate by the factor),  for  other  profiles  it
              should  hold that a higher acceleration factor leads to a faster pointer. Typically, 1 is unacceler‐
              ated and values up to 5 are sensible.

       Option "AccelerationThreshold"  "integer"
              Set the threshold, which is roughly the velocity (usually device  units  per  10  ms)  required  for
              acceleration to become effective. The precise effect varies with the profile however.


INPUTCLASS SECTION
       The config file may have multiple InputClass sections.  These sections are optional and are used to provide
       configuration for a class of input devices as they are automatically added. An input device can match  more
       than  one  InputClass  section.  Each  class  can override settings from a previous class, so it is best to
       arrange the sections with the most generic matches first.

       InputClass sections have the following format:

           Section "InputClass"
               Identifier  "name"
               entries
               ...
               options
               ...
           EndSection

       The Identifier entry is required in all InputClass sections.  All other entries are optional.

       The Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this input class.  The Driver entry specifies  the  name
       of the driver to use for this input device.  After all classes have been examined, the "inputdriver" module
       from the first Driver entry will be enabled when using the loadable server.

       When an input device is automatically added, its characteristics are checked against  all  InputClass  sec‐
       tions.  Each section can contain optional entries to narrow the match of the class. If none of the optional
       entries appear, the InputClass section is generic and will match any input device.  If  more  than  one  of
       these entries appear, they all must match for the configuration to apply.

       There  are  two  types  of match entries used in InputClass sections. The first allows various tokens to be
       matched against attributes of the device. An entry can be constructed to match  attributes  from  different
       devices  by separating arguments with a '|' character. Multiple entries of the same type may be supplied to
       add multiple matching conditions on the same attribute. For example:

           Section "InputClass"
               Identifier   "My Class"
               # product string must contain example and
               # either gizmo or gadget
               MatchProduct "example"
               MatchProduct "gizmo|gadget"
               ...
           EndSection

       MatchProduct  "matchproduct"
              This entry can be used to check if the substring "matchproduct" occurs in the device's product name.

       MatchVendor  "matchvendor"
              This entry can be used to check if the substring "matchvendor" occurs in the device's vendor name.

       MatchDevicePath "matchdevice"
              This entry can be used to check if the device file matches the "matchdevice" pathname pattern.

       MatchOS "matchos"
              This entry can be used to check if the  operating  system  matches  the  case-insensitive  "matchos"
              string. This entry is only supported on platforms providing the uname(2) system call.

       MatchPnPID "matchpnp"
              The device's Plug and Play (PnP) ID can be checked against the "matchpnp" shell wildcard pattern.

       MatchUSBID "matchusb"
              The  device's  USB  ID  can be checked against the "matchusb" shell wildcard pattern. The ID is con‐
              structed as lowercase hexadecimal numbers separated by a  ':'.  This  is  the  same  format  as  the
              lsusb(8) program.

       MatchDriver "matchdriver"
              Check the case-sensitive string "matchdriver" against the currently configured driver of the device.
              Ordering of sections using this entry is important since it will not match  unless  the  driver  has
              been set by the config backend or a previous InputClass section.

       MatchTag "matchtag"
              This  entry  can be used to check if tags assigned by the config backend matches the "matchtag" pat‐
              tern. A match is found if at least one of the tags given in "matchtag" matches at least one  of  the
              tags assigned by the backend.

       The  second  type  of entry is used to match device types. These entries take a boolean argument similar to
       Option entries.

       MatchIsKeyboard     "bool"

       MatchIsPointer      "bool"

       MatchIsJoystick     "bool"

       MatchIsTablet       "bool"

       MatchIsTouchpad     "bool"

       MatchIsTouchscreen  "bool"

       When an input device has been matched to the InputClass section, any Option  entries  are  applied  to  the
       device.  One  InputClass specific Option is recognized. See the InputDevice section above for a description
       of the remaining Option entries.

       Option "Ignore" "boolean"
              This optional entry specifies that the device should be ignored  entirely,  and  not  added  to  the
              server.  This  can be useful when the device is handled by another program and no X events should be
              generated.

DEVICE SECTION
       The config file may have multiple Device sections.  There must be at least one, for the  video  card  being
       used.

       Device sections have the following format:

           Section "Device"
               Identifier "name"
               Driver     "driver"
               entries
               ...
           EndSection

       The Identifier and Driver entries are required in all Device sections.  All other entries are optional.

       The  Identifier  entry  specifies the unique name for this graphics device.  The Driver entry specifies the
       name of the driver to use for this graphics device.  When using the  loadable  server,  the  driver  module
       "driver"  will  be  loaded  for each active Device section.  A Device section is considered active if it is
       referenced by an active Screen section.

       Device sections recognise some driver-independent entries and Options, which are described here.   Not  all
       drivers  make  use  of these driver-independent entries, and many of those that do don't require them to be
       specified because the information is auto-detected.  See the individual graphics driver  manual  pages  for
       further  information  about  this, and for a description of the device-specific options.  Note that most of
       the Options listed here (but not the other entries) may be specified in the Screen section instead of  here
       in the Device section.

       BusID  "bus-id"
              This  specifies the bus location of the graphics card.  For PCI/AGP cards, the bus-id string has the
              form PCI:bus:device:function (e.g., “PCI:1:0:0” might be appropriate for an AGP card).   This  field
              is  usually  optional in single-head configurations when using the primary graphics card.  In multi-
              head configurations, or when using a secondary graphics card in a  single-head  configuration,  this
              entry  is  mandatory.  Its main purpose is to make an unambiguous connection between the device sec‐
              tion and the hardware it is representing.  This information can usually be found by running the pci‐
              access tool scanpci.

       Screen  number
              This  option is mandatory for cards where a single PCI entity can drive more than one display (i.e.,
              multiple CRTCs sharing a single graphics accelerator and  video  memory).   One  Device  section  is
              required for each head, and this parameter determines which head each of the Device sections applies
              to.  The legal values of number range from 0 to one less than the total number of heads per  entity.
              Most drivers require that the primary screen (0) be present.

       Chipset  "chipset"
              This  usually  optional  entry specifies the chipset used on the graphics board.  In most cases this
              entry is not required because the drivers will probe the hardware to  determine  the  chipset  type.
              Don't specify it unless the driver-specific documentation recommends that you do.

       Ramdac  "ramdac-type"
              This optional entry specifies the type of RAMDAC used on the graphics board.  This is only used by a
              few of the drivers, and in most cases it is not required because the drivers will probe the hardware
              to determine the RAMDAC type where possible.  Don't specify it unless the driver-specific documenta‐
              tion recommends that you do.

       DacSpeed  speed

       DacSpeed  speed-8 speed-16 speed-24 speed-32
              This optional entry specifies the RAMDAC speed rating (which is usually printed on the RAMDAC chip).
              The speed is in MHz.  When one value is given, it applies to all framebuffer pixel sizes.  When mul‐
              tiple values are given, they apply to the framebuffer pixel sizes 8, 16,  24  and  32  respectively.
              This is not used by many drivers, and only needs to be specified when the speed rating of the RAMDAC
              is different from the defaults built in to driver, or when the driver can't auto-detect the  correct
              defaults.  Don't specify it unless the driver-specific documentation recommends that you do.

       Clocks  clock ...
              specifies the pixel that are on your graphics board.  The clocks are in MHz, and may be specified as
              a floating point number.  The value is stored internally to the nearest kHz.  The  ordering  of  the
              clocks  is  important.   It  must  match the order in which they are selected on the graphics board.
              Multiple Clocks lines may be specified, and each is concatenated to form the list.  Most drivers  do
              not  use  this  entry,  and  it is only required for some older boards with non-programmable clocks.
              Don't specify this entry unless the driver-specific documentation explicitly recommends that you do.

       ClockChip  "clockchip-type"
              This optional entry is used to specify the clock chip type on graphics boards which have a  program‐
              mable  clock generator.  Only a few Xorg drivers support programmable clock chips.  For details, see
              the appropriate driver manual page.

       VideoRam  mem
              This optional entry specifies the amount of video ram that is installed on the graphics board.  This
              is measured in kBytes.  In most cases this is not required because the Xorg server probes the graph‐
              ics board to determine this quantity.  The driver-specific documentation  should  indicate  when  it
              might be needed.

       BiosBase  baseaddress
              This optional entry specifies the base address of the video BIOS for the VGA board.  This address is
              normally auto-detected, and should only be specified if the driver-specific documentation recommends
              it.

       MemBase  baseaddress
              This  optional  entry  specifies  the memory base address of a graphics board's linear frame buffer.
              This entry is not used by many drivers, and it should only be specified if the driver-specific docu‐
              mentation recommends it.

       IOBase  baseaddress
              This  optional  entry specifies the IO base address.  This entry is not used by many drivers, and it
              should only be specified if the driver-specific documentation recommends it.

       ChipID  id
              This optional entry specifies a numerical ID representing the chip type.  For PCI cards, it is  usu‐
              ally  the  device ID.  This can be used to override the auto-detection, but that should only be done
              when the driver-specific documentation recommends it.

       ChipRev  rev
              This optional entry specifies the chip revision number.  This can be  used  to  override  the  auto-
              detection, but that should only be done when the driver-specific documentation recommends it.

       TextClockFreq  freq
              This optional entry specifies the pixel clock frequency that is used for the regular text mode.  The
              frequency is specified in MHz.  This is rarely used.

       Option "ModeDebug" "boolean"
              Enable printing of additional debugging information about modesetting to the server log.

       Options
              Option flags may be specified in the Device sections.  These  include  driver-specific  options  and
              driver-independent options.  The former are described in the driver-specific documentation.  Some of
              the latter are described below in the section about  the  Screen  section,  and  they  may  also  be
              included here.


VIDEOADAPTOR SECTION
       Nobody wants to say how this works.  Maybe nobody knows ...


MONITOR SECTION
       The config file may have multiple Monitor sections.  There should normally be at least one, for the monitor
       being used, but a default configuration will be created when one isn't specified.

       Monitor sections have the following format:

           Section "Monitor"
               Identifier "name"
               entries
               ...
           EndSection

       The only mandatory entry in a Monitor section is the Identifier entry.

       The Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this monitor.  The Monitor section may be used  to  pro‐
       vide  information  about the specifications of the monitor, monitor-specific Options, and information about
       the video modes to use with the monitor.

       With RandR 1.2-enabled drivers, monitor sections may be tied to specific outputs of the video card.   Using
       the name of the output defined by the video driver plus the identifier of a monitor section, one associates
       a monitor section with an output by adding an option to the Device section in the following format:

       Option "Monitor-outputname" "monitorsection"

       (for example, Option "Monitor-VGA" "VGA monitor" for a VGA output)

       In the absence of specific association of monitor sections to outputs, if a monitor section is present  the
       server will associate it with an output to preserve compatibility for previous single-head configurations.

       Specifying video modes is optional because the server will use the DDC or other information provided by the
       monitor to automatically configure the list of modes available.  When modes are specified explicitly in the
       Monitor  section  (with  the Modes, ModeLine, or UseModes keywords), built-in modes with the same names are
       not included.  Built-in modes with different names are, however, still implicitly included, when they  meet
       the requirements of the monitor.

       The entries that may be used in Monitor sections are described below.

       VendorName  "vendor"
              This optional entry specifies the monitor's manufacturer.

       ModelName  "model"
              This optional entry specifies the monitor's model.

       HorizSync  horizsync-range
              gives  the range(s) of horizontal sync frequencies supported by the monitor.  horizsync-range may be
              a comma separated list of either discrete values or ranges of values.  A range of values is two val‐
              ues  separated  by a dash.  By default the values are in units of kHz.  They may be specified in MHz
              or Hz if MHz or Hz is added to the end of the line.  The data given here is used by the Xorg  server
              to  determine  if video modes are within the specifications of the monitor.  This information should
              be available in the monitor's handbook.  If this entry is omitted, a default range  of  28-33kHz  is
              used.

       VertRefresh  vertrefresh-range
              gives  the range(s) of vertical refresh frequencies supported by the monitor.  vertrefresh-range may
              be a comma separated list of either discrete values or ranges of values.  A range of values  is  two
              values separated by a dash.  By default the values are in units of Hz.  They may be specified in MHz
              or kHz if MHz or kHz is added to the end of the line.  The data given  here  is  used  by  the  Xorg
              server  to  determine if video modes are within the specifications of the monitor.  This information
              should be available in the monitor's handbook.  If this entry is omitted, a default range of 43-72Hz
              is used.

       DisplaySize  width height
              This  optional entry gives the width and height, in millimetres, of the picture area of the monitor.
              If given this is used to calculate the horizontal and vertical pitch (DPI) of the screen.

       Gamma  gamma-value

       Gamma  red-gamma green-gamma blue-gamma
              This is an optional entry that can be used to specify the gamma correction for the monitor.  It  may
              be  specified as either a single value or as three separate RGB values.  The values should be in the
              range 0.1 to 10.0, and the default is 1.0.  Not all drivers are capable of using this information.

       UseModes  "modesection-id"
              Include the set of modes listed in the Modes section called modesection-id.  This makes all  of  the
              modes defined in that section available for use by this monitor.

       Mode  "name"
              This is an optional multi-line entry that can be used to provide definitions for video modes for the
              monitor.  In most cases this isn't necessary because the built-in set of VESA standard modes will be
              sufficient.   The Mode keyword indicates the start of a multi-line video mode description.  The mode
              description is terminated with the EndMode keyword.  The mode description consists of the  following
              entries:

              DotClock  clock
                  is the dot (pixel) clock rate to be used for the mode.

              HTimings  hdisp hsyncstart hsyncend htotal
                  specifies the horizontal timings for the mode.

              VTimings  vdisp vsyncstart vsyncend vtotal
                  specifies the vertical timings for the mode.

              Flags  "flag" ...
                  specifies  an  optional  set of mode flags, each of which is a separate string in double quotes.
                  "Interlace" indicates that the mode is interlaced.  "DoubleScan" indicates  a  mode  where  each
                  scanline is doubled.  "+HSync" and "-HSync" can be used to select the polarity of the HSync sig‐
                  nal.  "+VSync" and "-VSync" can be used to select the polarity of the VSync signal.  "Composite"
                  can  be  used  to  specify composite sync on hardware where this is supported.  Additionally, on
                  some hardware, "+CSync" and "-CSync" may be used to select the composite sync polarity.

              HSkew  hskew
                  specifies the number of pixels (towards the right edge of  the  screen)  by  which  the  display
                  enable  signal is to be skewed.  Not all drivers use this information.  This option might become
                  necessary to override the default value supplied by the server (if  any).   “Roving”  horizontal
                  lines  indicate  this value needs to be increased.  If the last few pixels on a scan line appear
                  on the left of the screen, this value should be decreased.

              VScan  vscan
                  specifies the number of times each scanline is painted on the screen.  Not all drivers use  this
                  information.   Values  less than 1 are treated as 1, which is the default.  Generally, the "Dou‐
                  bleScan" Flag mentioned above doubles this value.

       ModeLine  "name" mode-description
              This entry is a more compact version of the Mode entry, and it also can be  used  to  specify  video
              modes  for  the  monitor.   is  a single line format for specifying video modes.  In most cases this
              isn't necessary because the built-in set of VESA standard modes will be sufficient.

              The mode-description is in four sections, the first three of which are mandatory.  The first is  the
              dot  (pixel)  clock.   This  is a single number specifying the pixel clock rate for the mode in MHz.
              The second section is a list of four numbers specifying the horizontal timings.  These  numbers  are
              the  hdisp,  hsyncstart,  hsyncend,  and htotal values.  The third section is a list of four numbers
              specifying the vertical timings.  These numbers are the vdisp, vsyncstart, vsyncend, and vtotal val‐
              ues.   The final section is a list of flags specifying other characteristics of the mode.  Interlace
              indicates that the mode is interlaced.  DoubleScan indicates a mode where each scanline is  doubled.
              +HSync  and -HSync can be used to select the polarity of the HSync signal.  +VSync and -VSync can be
              used to select the polarity of the VSync signal.  Composite can be used to specify composite sync on
              hardware  where this is supported.  Additionally, on some hardware, +CSync and -CSync may be used to
              select the composite sync polarity.  The HSkew and VScan options mentioned above in the Modes  entry
              description can also be used here.

       Option "DPMS"  "bool"
              This  option  controls  whether the server should enable the DPMS extension for power management for
              this screen.  The default is to enable the extension.

       Option "SyncOnGreen"  "bool"
              This option controls whether the video card should drive the sync signal on  the  green  color  pin.
              Not all cards support this option, and most monitors do not require it.  The default is off.

       Option "Primary"  "bool"
              This  optional  entry  specifies  that  the monitor should be treated as the primary monitor. (RandR
              1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "PreferredMode"  "string"
              This optional entry specifies a mode to be marked as the preferred  initial  mode  of  the  monitor.
              (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "Position"  "x y"
              This  optional entry specifies the position of the monitor within the X screen.  (RandR 1.2-support‐
              ing drivers only)

       Option "LeftOf"  "output"
              This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be positioned to the left of the  output  (not
              monitor) of the given name.  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "RightOf"  "output"
              This  optional entry specifies that the monitor should be positioned to the right of the output (not
              monitor) of the given name.  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "Above"  "output"
              This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be positioned above the output  (not  monitor)
              of the given name.  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "Below"  "output"
              This  optional  entry specifies that the monitor should be positioned below the output (not monitor)
              of the given name.  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "Enable"  "bool"
              This optional entry specifies whether the monitor should be turned on at startup.  By  default,  the
              server will attempt to enable all connected monitors.  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "DefaultModes"  "bool"
              This  optional  entry specifies whether the server should add supported default modes to the list of
              modes offered on this monitor. By default, the server will add default modes; you should  only  dis‐
              able this if you can guarantee that EDID will be available at all times, or if you have added custom
              modelines which the server can use.  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "MinClock"  "frequency"
              This optional entry specifies the minimum dot clock, in kHz, that is supported by the monitor.

       Option "MaxClock"  "frequency"
              This optional entry specifies the maximum dot clock, in kHz, that is supported by the monitor.

       Option "Ignore"  "bool"
              This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be ignored entirely, and not reported  through
              RandR.   This  is  useful  if the hardware reports the presence of outputs that don't exist.  (RandR
              1.2-supporting drivers only)

       Option "Rotate"  "rotation"
              This optional entry specifies the initial rotation of the given monitor.  Valid values for  rotation
              are "normal", "left", "right", and "inverted".  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)


MODES SECTION
       The  config  file may have multiple Modes sections, or none.  These sections provide a way of defining sets
       of video modes independently of the Monitor sections.  Monitor sections may include  the  definitions  pro‐
       vided  in these sections by using the UseModes keyword.  In most cases the Modes sections are not necessary
       because the built-in set of VESA standard modes will be sufficient.

       Modes sections have the following format:

           Section "Modes"
               Identifier "name"
               entries
               ...
           EndSection

       The Identifier entry specifies the unique name for this set of mode descriptions.  The other  entries  per‐
       mitted in Modes sections are the Mode and ModeLine entries that are described above in the Monitor section.

SCREEN SECTION
       The  config  file  may  have  multiple Screen sections.  There must be at least one, for the “screen” being
       used.  A “screen” represents the binding of a graphics device (Device section) and a monitor (Monitor  sec‐
       tion).  A Screen section is considered “active” if it is referenced by an active ServerLayout section or by
       the -screen command line option.  If neither of those is present, the first Screen  section  found  in  the
       config file is considered the active one.

       Screen sections have the following format:

           Section "Screen"
               Identifier "name"
               Device     "devid"
               Monitor    "monid"
               entries
               ...
               SubSection "Display"
                  entries
                  ...
               EndSubSection
               ...
           EndSection

       The Identifier entry is mandatory.  All others are optional.

       The  Identifier  entry  specifies the unique name for this screen.  The Screen section provides information
       specific to the whole screen, including screen-specific Options.  In multi-head configurations, there  will
       be multiple active Screen sections, one for each head.  The entries available for this section are:

       Device  "device-id"
              This  mandatory  entry specifies the Device section to be used for this screen.  This is what ties a
              specific graphics card to a screen.  The device-id must match the Identifier of a Device section  in
              the config file.

       Monitor  "monitor-id"
              specifies  which monitor description is to be used for this screen.  If a Monitor name is not speci‐
              fied, a default configuration is used.  Currently the default  configuration  may  not  function  as
              expected on all platforms.

       VideoAdaptor  "xv-id"
              specifies an optional Xv video adaptor description to be used with this screen.

       DefaultDepth  depth
              specifies which color depth the server should use by default.  The -depth command line option can be
              used to override this.  If neither is specified, the default depth is driver-specific, but  in  most
              cases is 8.

       DefaultFbBpp  bpp
              specifies which framebuffer layout to use by default.  The -fbbpp command line option can be used to
              override this.  In most cases the driver will chose the best default value for this.  The only  case
              where  there  is  even  a  choice in this value is for depth 24, where some hardware supports both a
              packed 24 bit framebuffer layout and a sparse 32 bit framebuffer layout.

       Options
              Various Option flags may be specified in the Screen  section.   Some  are  driver-specific  and  are
              described  in  the  driver  documentation.   Others  are  driver-independent, and will eventually be
              described here.

       Option "Accel"
              Enables XAA (X Acceleration Architecture), a mechanism that makes video cards' 2D hardware accelera‐
              tion  available  to the  Xorg server.  This option is on by default, but it may be necessary to turn
              it off if there are bugs in the driver.  There are many  options  to  disable  specific  accelerated
              operations,  listed below.  Note that disabling an operation will have no effect if the operation is
              not accelerated (whether due to lack of support in the hardware or in the driver).

       Option "InitPrimary" "boolean"
              Use the Int10 module to initialize the primary graphics card.  Normally, only  secondary  cards  are
              soft-booted  using the Int10 module, as the primary card has already been initialized by the BIOS at
              boot time.  Default: false.

       Option "NoInt10" "boolean"
              Disables the Int10 module, a module that uses the int10 call to the BIOS of  the  graphics  card  to
              initialize it.  Default: false.

       Option "NoMTRR"
              Disables MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support, a feature of modern processors which can improve
              video performance by a factor of up to 2.5.  Some hardware has buggy MTRR support,  and  some  video
              drivers have been known to exhibit problems when MTRR's are used.

       Option "XaaNoCPUToScreenColorExpandFill"
              Disables accelerated rectangular expansion blits from source patterns stored in system memory (using
              a memory-mapped aperture).

       Option "XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillRect"
              Disables accelerated fills of a rectangular region with a full-color pattern.

       Option "XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillTrap"
              Disables accelerated fills of a trapezoidal region with a full-color pattern.

       Option "XaaNoDashedBresenhamLine"
              Disables accelerated dashed Bresenham line draws.

       Option "XaaNoDashedTwoPointLine"
              Disables accelerated dashed line draws between two arbitrary points.

       Option "XaaNoImageWriteRect"
              Disables accelerated transfers of full-color rectangular patterns from system memory to video memory
              (using a memory-mapped aperture).

       Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect"
              Disables accelerated fills of a rectangular region with a monochrome pattern.

       Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillTrap"
              Disables accelerated fills of a trapezoidal region with a monochrome pattern.

       Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
              Disables accelerated draws into pixmaps stored in offscreen video memory.

       Option "XaaNoPixmapCache"
              Disables caching of patterns in offscreen video memory.

       Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill"
              Disables  accelerated  rectangular expansion blits from source patterns stored in system memory (one
              scan line at a time).

       Option "XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect"
              Disables accelerated transfers of full-color rectangular patterns from system memory to video memory
              (one scan line at a time).

       Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenColorExpandFill"
              Disables accelerated rectangular expansion blits from source patterns stored in offscreen video mem‐
              ory.

       Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy"
              Disables accelerated copies of rectangular regions from one part of video memory to another part  of
              video memory.

       Option "XaaNoSolidBresenhamLine"
              Disables accelerated solid Bresenham line draws.

       Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect"
              Disables accelerated solid-color fills of rectangles.

       Option "XaaNoSolidFillTrap"
              Disables accelerated solid-color fills of Bresenham trapezoids.

       Option "XaaNoSolidHorVertLine"
              Disables accelerated solid horizontal and vertical line draws.

       Option "XaaNoSolidTwoPointLine"
              Disables accelerated solid line draws between two arbitrary points.

       Each  Screen  section  may  optionally  contain one or more Display subsections.  Those subsections provide
       depth/fbbpp specific configuration information, and the one chosen depends on the depth and/or  fbbpp  that
       is being used for the screen.  The Display subsection format is described in the section below.


DISPLAY SUBSECTION
       Each  Screen  section  may have multiple Display subsections.  The “active” Display subsection is the first
       that matches the depth and/or fbbpp values being used, or failing that, the first that has neither a  depth
       or  fbbpp  value  specified.   The Display subsections are optional.  When there isn't one that matches the
       depth and/or fbbpp values being used, all the parameters that can be specified  here  fall  back  to  their
       defaults.

       Display subsections have the following format:

               SubSection "Display"
                   Depth  depth
                   entries
                   ...
               EndSubSection

       Depth  depth
              This entry specifies what colour depth the Display subsection is to be used for.  This entry is usu‐
              ally specified, but it may be omitted to create a match-all Display subsection or  when  wishing  to
              match  only  against the FbBpp parameter.  The range of depth values that are allowed depends on the
              driver.  Most drivers support 8, 15, 16 and 24.  Some also support 1 and/or 4, and some may  support
              other  values  (like 30).  Note: depth means the number of bits in a pixel that are actually used to
              determine the pixel colour.  32 is not a valid depth value.  Most hardware that  uses  32  bits  per
              pixel  only uses 24 of them to hold the colour information, which means that the colour depth is 24,
              not 32.

       FbBpp  bpp
              This entry specifies the framebuffer format this Display subsection is to be used for.   This  entry
              is  only  needed  when providing depth 24 configurations that allow a choice between a 24 bpp packed
              framebuffer format and a 32bpp sparse framebuffer format.  In most cases this entry  should  not  be
              used.

       Weight  red-weight green-weight blue-weight
              This  optional  entry  specifies the relative RGB weighting to be used for a screen is being used at
              depth 16 for drivers that allow multiple formats.  This may also be specified from the command  line
              with the -weight option (see Xorg(1)).

       Virtual  xdim ydim
              This  optional entry specifies the virtual screen resolution to be used.  xdim must be a multiple of
              either 8 or 16 for most drivers, and a multiple of 32 when running in monochrome  mode.   The  given
              value  will be rounded down if this is not the case.  Video modes which are too large for the speci‐
              fied virtual size will be rejected.  If this entry is not present,  the  virtual  screen  resolution
              will  be  set to accommodate all the valid video modes given in the Modes entry.  Some drivers/hard‐
              ware combinations do not support virtual screens.  Refer to the appropriate driver-specific documen‐
              tation for details.

       ViewPort  x0 y0
              This  optional  entry sets the upper left corner of the initial display.  This is only relevant when
              the virtual screen resolution is different from the resolution of the initial video mode.   If  this
              entry is not given, then the initial display will be centered in the virtual display area.

       Modes  "mode-name" ...
              This  optional  entry specifies the list of video modes to use.  Each mode-name specified must be in
              double quotes.  They must correspond to those specified or referenced  in  the  appropriate  Monitor
              section  (including  implicitly  referenced  built-in  VESA standard modes).  The server will delete
              modes from this list which don't satisfy various requirements.  The first valid mode  in  this  list
              will  be the default display mode for startup.  The list of valid modes is converted internally into
              a circular list.  It is possible to switch to the next mode with  Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus  and  to  the
              previous mode with Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus.  When this entry is omitted, the valid modes referenced by
              the appropriate Monitor section will be used.  If the Monitor section contains no  modes,  then  the
              selection will be taken from the built-in VESA standard modes.

       Visual  "visual-name"
              This  optional entry sets the default root visual type.  This may also be specified from the command
              line (see the Xserver(1) man page).  The visual types available for depth 8 are (default is  Pseudo‐
              Color):

                  StaticGray
                  GrayScale
                  StaticColor
                  PseudoColor
                  TrueColor
                  DirectColor

              The visual type available for the depths 15, 16 and 24 are (default is TrueColor):

                  TrueColor
                  DirectColor

              Not all drivers support DirectColor at these depths.

              The visual types available for the depth 4 are (default is StaticColor):

                  StaticGray
                  GrayScale
                  StaticColor
                  PseudoColor

              The visual type available for the depth 1 (monochrome) is StaticGray.

       Black  red green blue
              This  optional  entry allows the “black” colour to be specified.  This is only supported at depth 1.
              The default is black.

       White  red green blue
              This optional entry allows the “white” colour to be specified.  This is only supported at  depth  1.
              The default is white.

       Options
              Option flags may be specified in the Display subsections.  These may include driver-specific options
              and driver-independent options.  The former are  described  in  the  driver-specific  documentation.
              Some of the latter are described above in the section about the Screen section, and they may also be
              included here.

SERVERLAYOUT SECTION
       The config file may have multiple ServerLayout sections.  A “server layout” represents the binding  of  one
       or  more  screens (Screen sections) and one or more input devices (InputDevice sections) to form a complete
       configuration.  In multi-head configurations, it also specifies  the  relative  layout  of  the  heads.   A
       ServerLayout section is considered “active” if it is referenced by the -layout command line option or by an
       Option "DefaultServerLayout" entry in the ServerFlags section (the former takes precedence  over  the  lat‐
       ter).  If those options are not used, the first ServerLayout section found in the config file is considered
       the active one.  If no ServerLayout sections are present, the single active screen and  two  active  (core)
       input devices are selected as described in the relevant sections above.

       ServerLayout sections have the following format:

           Section "ServerLayout"
               Identifier   "name"
               Screen       "screen-id"
               ...
               InputDevice  "idev-id"
               ...
               options
               ...
           EndSection

       Each ServerLayout section must have an Identifier entry and at least one Screen entry.

       The  Identifier  entry specifies the unique name for this server layout.  The ServerLayout section provides
       information specific to the whole session, including session-specific  Options.   The  ServerFlags  options
       (described  above)  may be specified here, and ones given here override those given in the ServerFlags sec‐
       tion.

       The entries that may be used in this section are described here.

       Screen  screen-num "screen-id" position-information
              One of these entries must be given for each screen being used in a session.  The screen-id field  is
              mandatory, and specifies the Screen section being referenced.  The screen-num field is optional, and
              may be used to specify the screen number in multi-head configurations.  When this field is  omitted,
              the screens will be numbered in the order that they are listed in.  The numbering starts from 0, and
              must be consecutive.  The position-information field describes the way multiple  screens  are  posi‐
              tioned.  There are a number of different ways that this information can be provided:

              x y

              Absolute  x y
                  These  both specify that the upper left corner's coordinates are (x,y).  The Absolute keyword is
                  optional.  Some older versions of XFree86 (4.2 and earlier) don't recognise  the  Absolute  key‐
                  word, so it's safest to just specify the coordinates without it.

              RightOf   "screen-id"

              LeftOf    "screen-id"

              Above     "screen-id"

              Below     "screen-id"

              Relative  "screen-id" x y
                  These give the screen's location relative to another screen.  The first four position the screen
                  immediately to the right, left, above or below the other screen.  When positioning to the  right
                  or  left,  the  top  edges  are  aligned.   When  positioning above or below, the left edges are
                  aligned.  The Relative form specifies the offset of the screen's origin (upper left corner) rel‐
                  ative to the origin of another screen.

       InputDevice  "idev-id" "option" ...
              One  of  these  entries  should be given for each input device being used in a session.  Normally at
              least two are required, one each for the core pointer and keyboard devices.  If either of  those  is
              missing,  suitable  InputDevice  entries  are  searched  for using the method described above in the
              INPUTDEVICE section.  The idev-id field is mandatory, and specifies the name of the InputDevice sec‐
              tion being referenced.  Multiple option fields may be specified, each in double quotes.  The options
              permitted here are any that may also be given in  the  InputDevice  sections.   Normally  only  ses‐
              sion-specific input device options would be used here.  The most commonly used options are:

                  "CorePointer"
                  "CoreKeyboard"
                  "SendCoreEvents"

              and  the  first  two  should normally be used to indicate the core pointer and core keyboard devices
              respectively.

       Options
              In addition to the following, any option permitted in the ServerFlags section may also be  specified
              here.   When the same option appears in both places, the value given here overrides the one given in
              the ServerFlags section.

       Option "IsolateDevice"  "bus-id"
              Restrict device resets to the specified bus-id.  See the BusID option (described in DEVICE  SECTION,
              above)  for the format of the bus-id parameter.  This option overrides SingleCard, if specified.  At
              present, only PCI devices can be isolated in this manner.

       Option "SingleCard"  "boolean"
              As IsolateDevice, except that the bus ID of the first device in the layout is used.

       Here is an example of a ServerLayout section for a dual headed configuration with two mice:

           Section "ServerLayout"
               Identifier  "Layout 1"
               Screen      "MGA 1"
               Screen      "MGA 2" RightOf "MGA 1"
               InputDevice "Keyboard 1" "CoreKeyboard"
               InputDevice "Mouse 1"    "CorePointer"
               InputDevice "Mouse 2"    "SendCoreEvents"
               Option      "BlankTime"  "5"
           EndSection

DRI SECTION
       This optional section is used to provide some information for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure.  Details
       about the format of this section can be found on-line at <http://dri.freedesktop.org/>.

VENDOR SECTION
       The  optional  Vendor  section  may be used to provide vendor-specific configuration information.  Multiple
       Vendor sections may be present, and they may contain an Identifier entry and multiple  Option  flags.   The
       data therein is not used in this release.
