XF86Config contains technical details concerning the capabilities of system hardware, which can be intimidating for some users. For this reason, automated configuration tools are available that will generate the file for you: xf86config This program is distributed with XFree86. It is a simple text-mode program that requests information about the system from the user and then writes a corresponding XF86Config file. This utility does not use information stored in an existing configuration file, so its utility is limited. (Remember that xf86config is a binary program that writes the XF86Config text file.) XF86Setup This program is distributed with XFree86. XF86Setup is a graphical program that starts a VGA X server, which should run on most PC hardware. It allows you to select the graphics chipset, monitor, mouse, and keyboard device types and writes the appropriate configuration file for you. xf86cfg This program is distributed with XFree86 v4.0. Like XF86Setup, it is a graphical tool; however, xf86cfg s interface is slightly different. Whereas other tools offer a menu-based approach, xf86cfg offers a block diagram of the system, including a monitor, video device, keyboard, and mouse. The user configures each element by manipulating its properties. When the user is happy with the configuration, the tool writes the XF86Config file. Distribution-specific tools Various Linux distributors provide their own configuration utilities. For example, Xconfigurator is distributed by Red Hat Software. It is menu-based, provides for automated probing of graphics chipsets and capabilities, and uses a list of known monitors to retrieve timing information. Example 2-12 contains an abbreviated XF86Config file created using the Red Hat Xconfigurator tool for XFree86 v3.3.3.* Example 2-12: A sample XF86Config File for XFree86 v3.3.3 # File generated by XConfigurator.
