WARNING: Faulty X Configurations can Damage Your Hardware
Be very careful when configuring your X Window System. Never start the X
Window System until the configuration is finished. A misconfigured system can
cause irreparable damage to your hardware (this applies especially to fixed-
frequency monitors). The creators of this book and SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server cannot be held responsible for any resulting damage. This information
has been carefully researched, but this does not guarantee that all methods
presented here are correct and cannot damage your hardware.
The command sax2 creates the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. This is the primary
configuration file of the X Window System. Find all the settings here concerning your
graphics card, mouse and monitor.
IMPORTANT: Using X -configure
Use X -configure to configure your X setup if previous tries with SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server's SaX2 have failed. If your setup involves proprietary
binary-only drivers, X -configure cannot work.
The following sections describe the structure of the configuration file /etc/X11/
xorg.conf. It consists of several sections, each one dealing with a certain aspect of
the configuration. Each section starts with the keyword Section <designation>
and ends with EndSection. The following convention applies to all sections:
Section "designation"
entry 1
entry 2
entry n
EndSection
The section types available are listed in
(page 147).
