27.2 Optimizing the X Configuration

X.Org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It is further developed
by the X.Org Foundation, which is also responsible for the development of new tech-
nologies and standards of the X Window System.
To use the available hardware, including mouse, graphics card, monitor, and keyboard,
in the best way possible, the configuration can be optimized manually. Some aspects
of this optimization are explained below. For detailed information about configuring
the X Window System, review the various files in the directory /usr/share/doc/
packages/Xorg and man xorg.conf.
WARNING
Be very careful when configuring your X Window System. Never start the X
Window System until the configuration is finished. A wrongly configured system
can cause irreparable damage to your hardware (this applies especially to fixed-
frequency monitors). The authors of this book and SUSE Linux cannot be held
responsible for damage. This information has been carefully researched, but
this does not guarantee that all methods presented here are correct and will
not damage your hardware.
The programs SaX2 and xorgconfig create the file xorg.conf, by default in /etc/
X11. This is the primary configuration file for the X Window System. Find all the set-
tings here concerning your graphics card, mouse, and monitor.
