xorgcfg and xorgconfig Utilities

The xorgcfg and xorgconfig utilities for generating xorg.conf files might no longer be available in a future Solaris release.

The Xorg(1) server does not require an xorg.conf(4) file in many cases and will autoconfigure itself if the file is not present. Users should use one of the following alternative methods to generate an xorg.conf file for customization if the default configuration does not meet their needs:

• When the server is not already running, /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure, provides a sample configuration file for the currently detected hardware in the system.

• When Xorg is started without a configuration file, the xorg.conf data that Xorg automatically generates is logged in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log log file. The xorg.conf data might also be copied to an xorg.conf file for customization.

• Users of NVidia graphics devices should use the provided nvidia-settings(1) and nvidia-xconfig(1) utilities to generate or update device-specific configurations.

• Users of Sun graphics devices for the SPARC platform should use the fbconfig(1) utility to generate or update device-specific configurations.
