1 ====== xorg-server-1.8 ======
3 ===== Introduction =====
5 With xorg-server-1.8, the file ///etc/X11/xorg.conf// is deprecated. Though we can actually reserve it for user modifications, it's no longer edited automatically.
7 The configuration files are now in ///etc/X11/xorg.conf.d//. To ensure that the users configuration will not be erased by a system upgrade, here's a suggestion of numbers and content. The configuration files are read in alphanumerical order and their names must end with .conf :
9 * 00 - ServerFlag
10 * 05 - ServerLayout Tweaks
11 * 10 - ServerLayout
12 * 15 - Files Tweaks
13 * 20 - Files
14 * 25 - Modules Tweaks
15 * 30 - Modules
16 * 35 - InputClass/InputDevice Tweaks
17 * 40 - InputClass/InputDevice
18 * 45 - Monitor Tweaks
19 * 50 - Monitor
20 * 55 - Device Tweaks
21 * 60 - Device
22 * 65 - Screen Tweaks
23 * 70 - Screen
24 * 75 - Modes Tweaks
25 * 80 - Modes
26 * 85 - DRI Tweaks
27 * 90 - DRI
28 * 95 - Extension Tweaks
29 * 100 - Extension
31 Some of the x0 sections are configured by tazx xorg-config using a template //xorg.conf// file (generated with Xorg -configure). You can find more information about this in the function [[http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/file/ca6804d9b56b/tinyutils/tazx#l27|xorg_conf_d]] of tazx.
33 If you want add a configuration file to a package, please take care to use a name different from those specified by tazx or this file will be erased when booting in live mode. You can use the same number (x0) with a different name if this configuration doesn't conflict with those used by default. Otherwise, use (x-1)5 for that configuration overwriting the default one.
35 Examples :
37 * [[http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/c29991cef110/xorg-xf86-input-evdev/stuff/40-evdev.conf|40-evedev.conf]] - Default configuration for all devices
38 * [[http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/c29991cef110/xorg-xf86-input-synaptics/stuff/35-synaptics.conf|35-synaptics.conf]] - Advanced configuration for touchpad devices, overwriting the default configuration for these devices
39 * hwsetup, section [[http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/file/ca6804d9b56b/tinyutils/hwsetup#l685|nvidia]] and [[http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/file/ca6804d9b56b/tinyutils/hwsetup#l753|ati]] - Add a file 55-DeviceTweaks.conf configuring a graphic driver other than vesa
41 ===== Configuration files list =====
43 This avoid naming two files identically, you can use these in the ///etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/readme// for users with the 4.0 release.
45 tazx :
46 * 10-ServerLayout.conf
47 * 20-Files.conf
48 * 30-Module.conf
49 * 40-Keyboard.conf
50 * 50-Monitor.conf
51 * 60-Device.conf
52 * 70-Screen.conf
53 tazhw :
54 * 55-DeviceTweaks.conf
55 xorg-xf86-input-evdev :
56 * 40-evdev.conf
57 xorg-xf86-input-synaptics :
58 * 35-synaptics.conf
60 ===== TODO =====
62 * Improve the auto-configuration tool in tazx : some fonts and modules don't need to be loaded by default or don't exist. Some of these elements can be configured by their original package.
63 * Pre-configure some drivers to make them work out-of-the-box.
