Interesting that there is no X(1) manpage. There is no x(1) manpage. There is an Xserver(1) manpage. It calls itself XSERVER(1) but that isn't its name, nor is xserver(1). Its synopsys says that it is invoked as "X" (with options). But it does not say anything about -configure. There is an Xorg(1) manpage that is distinct from Xserver(1). Its synopsis says that it is invoked as "Xorg". It does document a -configure option. xorg.conf(5) does not mention that "Xorg -configure" might be interesting. It turns out that /usr/bin/X is a symlink to /usr/bin/Xorg. There does not seem to be an executable file called Xserver Rather a mess. | The problem is that there are ten screens of command line options to be | understood, Yeah. "Xorg -help" prints 115 lines to stderr. If you want to see them, you need to use a pager. And do redirection. Like: Xorg 2>&1 | less Very friendly.

How do you figure them out? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
