Xconfigurator(1x)

NAME
       Xconfigurator - configure XFree86 server and display

SYNOPSIS
       Xconfigurator {--help,--expert}
       Xconfigurator {--help,--kickstart,--server,--card,
       --monitor,--hsync,--vsync}

DESCRIPTION
       Xconfigurator  sets  up  the necessary configuration files
       and file links to use XFree86 on a Red Hat  system.  There
       are two modes of operation: interactive and kickstart.

       In  interactive  mode the user is prompted for the type of
       video card and monitor attached to  the  system.  Some  of
       this  information  may  be automatically probed and filled
       in. If --expert is specified then the user  will  have  an
       opportunity to override the probed values.

       In kickstart mode, Xconfigurator will try to autoprobe all
       required information, non-interactively.  Video  cards  on
       the  PCI  bus will usually be probed properly. Older video
       cards can be explicitely given using  the  --card  option.
       Use the --help option to see a complete list of recognized
       video cards. Alternatively, the server  can  be  specified
       with the --server option. Also, the monitor type will have
       to be specified with the --monitor option.  Another way to
       give  the  monitor  type  is to specify the horizontal and
       vertical sync rates for the monitor using the --hsync  and
       --vsync options.

   OPTIONS
       --help Print  a  usage message on standard output and exit
              successfully.  Gives complete lists  of  the  video
              card and monitor types recognized.

       --expert
              Gives  the user manual control over some parameters
              which are automatically satisfied in normal use.

       --kickstart
              Tells Xconfigurator to run in non-interactive mode,
              filling  in as much information as posible by prob-
              ing the video card. If no valid card  is  found,  a
              standand  VGA  is  assumed  (640x480 resolution, 16
              colors).  If no valid monitor is specified, a stan-
              dard VGA monitor is assumed (640x480 at 60 Hz).

       --card <card>
              Specifies  the  card type to use in kickstart mode.
              Use the --help option to see  a  complete  list  of
              cards.

       --server <server>
              Specifies  the  server  to  use  in kickstart mode.
              Will  use  the  file  /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_<<server>>.
              Use  the  --help  option  to see a complete list of
              servers.

       --monitor &lt;monitor>
              Specifies the monitor  type  to  use  in  kickstart
              mode.  Use the --help option to see a complete list
              of monitors.

       --hsync  --vsync
              Specifies the horizontal and vertical  sync  ranges
              for the monitor.  An example of usage is
              Xconfigurator --hsync "31.5,45-50" --vsync "50-70"

NOTES
       Xconfigurator   will  use  the  settings  in  /etc/syscon-
       fig/mouse to determine the mouse type. Otherwise its  will
       assume a Microsoft compatible mouse on /dev/cua0.
