Important X11 Directories

Most of the software related to x11r7 is stored in/usr and its subdirectories. The following describes important directories:

/Usr/bin: stores X Server and different X clients.

/Usr/include: the file path required for the development of X client and graphics.

/Usr/lib: directory of the function libraries required by X Server and X clients.

/Usr/lib/X11: saves multiple resources, such as fonts and files.

/Usr/lib/Xorg/modules: Contains drivers and multiple X Server modules.

/Usr/X11/MAN: Save the instruction page of the X11 program.

/Etc/X11/Xorg. conf file

If the X Window System is not set during installation, you must first set the mouse, keyboard, display, and display card to enable the X Window System, these settings are recorded in/etc/X11/Xorg. CONF file. The importance of this file is evident.

This file consists of several sections/endsections. The format of each section is as follows:

Section "section name"

Option name "option value"

Option name "option value"

Option name "option value"

...

Endsection

The following describes the section type used in the/etc/X11/Xorg. conf file and the available option names and option values for each type.

Serverlayout

"Serverlayout" section is mainly used to create the appearance of X Server when it is started. If the file contains multiple serverlayout sections, the setting of the first serverlayout section is used by default.

The system default values of this block and the available options are described as follows:

Section "serverlayout"

Identifier "Default layout"

Screen "default screen"

Inputdevice "generic keyboard"

Inputdevice "configured mouse"

Inputdevice "stylus" "sendcoreevents"

Inputdevice "cursor" "sendcoreevents"

Inputdevice "eraser" "sendcoreevents"

Endsection

Identifier: the unique name of this serverlayout section.

Screen: The name specified by "screen" section. The number on the left of this name indicates the number of screens in the Multi-head environment. If you use a standard single-head display card, the value is 0. The numbers on the right of the name represent the absolute coordinates of x and y in the upper left corner of the screen. The default value is "0 0 ".

Inputdevice: name of the "inputdevice" section in X server. Usually there are only two rows of settings, namely, mouse0 and keyboard0, that is, the first mouse and keyboard in the system, while most other devices can be ignored.

Files

The "Files" section is used to set the path of the X server service, such as the font and color. The system default values of this block and the available options are described as follows:

Section "Files"

Fontpath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/MISC"

Fontpath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Cyrillic"

Fontpath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100 dpi/: unscaled"

Fontpath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75 DPI/: unscaled"

Fontpath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/type1"

Fontpath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100 dpi"

Fontpath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75 DPI"

Fontpath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/MISC"

# Path to defoma Fonts

Fontpath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"

Endsection

Rgbpath: Path of the RGB database. This file defines the names of all valid colors in X and specifies numerical values.

Fontpath: set the path when X server looks for the font. Multiple paths can be used at the same time, but separated by commas.

Module

The module section is used to tell X server which modules should be loaded. These modules provide additional service functions and do not need to change the value here. The only option used here is "LOAD", which can be used to load modules. The system default value of this block is as follows:

Section "module"

Load "I2C"

Load "bitmap"

Load "DDC"

Load "dri"

Load "extmod"

Load "FreeType"

Load "Glx"

Load "int10"

Load "type1"

Load "VBE"

Endsection

Inputdevice

The "inputdevice" section is used to set input devices, such as the mouse or keyboard, to provide information to the Linux system through X server. Most systems have at least two inputdevice sections (mouse and keyboard ).

The system default values of this block and the available options are described as follows:

Section "inputdevice"

Identifier "generic keyboard"

Driver "KBD"

Option "corekeyboard"

Option "xkbrules" "Xorg"

Option "xkbmodel" "pc105"

Option "xkblayout" "us"

Option "xkboptions" "lv3: ralt_switch"

Endsection

Section "inputdevice"

Identifier "configured mouse"

Driver "Mouse"

Option "corepointer"

Option "device" "/dev/input/mice"

Option "protocol" "assumerps/2"

Option "zaxismapping" "4 5"

Option "emulate3buttons" "true"

Endsection

Section "inputdevice"

Driver "wacom"

Identifier "stylus"

Option "device" "/dev/wacom" # change

#/Dev/input/event

# For USB

Option "type" "stylus"

Option "forcedevice" "isdv4" # Tablet PC only

Endsection

Section "inputdevice"

Driver "wacom"

Identifier "eraser"

Option "device" "/dev/wacom" # change

#/Dev/input/event

# For USB

Option "type" "eraser"

Option "forcedevice" "isdv4" # Tablet PC only

Endsection

Section "inputdevice"

Driver "wacom"

Identifier "cursor"

Option "device" "/dev/wacom" # change

#/Dev/input/event

# For USB

Option "type" "cursor"

Option "forcedevice" "isdv4" # Tablet PC only

Endsection

Identifier: set the device name. Usually these names are followed by a number, and the number of the first device is 0. For example, the identifier of the first keyboard is keyboard0.

Driver: tells X server where to load the driver.

In most inputdevice sections, there are a number of options that are not equal to "option" and contain specific options. To enable these options, you only need to remove the annotator "#" at the beginning of each line.

Monitor

The "Monitor" section is used to set the display type used by the system. You should pay special attention to this option, because improper settings may cause damage to the display.

The system default values of this block and the available options are described as follows:

Modelname: name of the display type.

Horizsync: the horizontal refresh frequency range compatible with the display, in kHz. This setting value also specifies whether a specific modeline value is used in this display.

Vertrefresh: the vertical refresh frequency range compatible with the display, in kHz. This setting value also specifies whether a specific modeline value is used in this display.

Device

The "device" section is used to set the information content of the display card. This file must contain at least one device section. If the system contains multiple display cards or multiple settings on one display card, you can use multiple device section settings.

The system default values of this block and the available options are described as follows:
