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 Desktop'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 160).
