NOTE configuring X Windows on HP-UX (other graphics cards) the XF86Config file • String - a sequence of characters • Boolean - a boolean value (see below) • Frequency - a frequency value (see below) All Option values, not just strings, must be enclosed in quotes. Boolean options may optionally have a value specified. When no value is specified, the option's value is TRUE. The following boolean option values are recognized as TRUE: 1, on, true, yes and the following boolean option values are recognized as FALSE: 0, off, false, no If an option name is prefixed with "No", then the option value is negated. Frequency option values consist of a real number that is optionally followed by one of the following frequency units: Hz, k, kHz, M, MHz When the unit name is omitted, the correct units will be determined from the value and the expectations of the appropriate range of the value. It is recommended that the units always be specified when using frequency option values to avoid any errors in determining the value. "ServerLayout" section The ServerLayout section is used to identify which Screen sections are to be used in a multi-headed configuration, the relative layout of those screens, and which InputDevice sections are to be used. Each ServerLayout section has an Identifier, a list of Screen section identifiers, and a list of InputDevice section identifiers. Options may also be included in the ServerLayout section. A ServerLayout section may be made active by referencing (via its Identifier) on the command line that starts X. In the absence of this, the first one found in the file will be chosen by default, as there may be multiple ServerLayout sections in the config file. The format of the ServerLayout section is as follows: Chapter 3 37

String
- a sequence of characters
Boolean
- a boolean value (see below)
Frequency
- a frequency value (see below)
NOTE
All
Option
values, not just strings, must be enclosed in quotes.
Boolean options may optionally have a value specified. When no value is
specified, the option's value is
TRUE
. The following boolean option
values are recognized as
TRUE
:
1, on, true, yes
and the following boolean option values are recognized as
FALSE
:
0, off, false, no
If an option name is prefixed with “No”, then the option value is negated.
Frequency
option values consist of a real number that is optionally
followed by one of the following frequency units:
Hz, k, kHz, M, MHz
When the unit name is omitted, the correct units will be determined from
the value and the expectations of the appropriate range of the value. It is
recommended that the units always be specified when using frequency
option values to avoid any errors in determining the value.
“ServerLayout” section
The
ServerLayout
section is used to identify which
Screen
sections are
to be used in a multi-headed configuration, the relative layout of those
screens, and which
InputDevice
sections are to be used. Each
ServerLayout
section has an
Identifier
, a list of
Screen
section
identifiers, and a list of
InputDevice
section identifiers.
Options
may
also be included in the
ServerLayout
section. A
ServerLayout
section
may be made active by referencing (via its
Identifier
) on the command
line that starts X. In the absence of this, the first one found in the file
will be chosen by default, as there may be multiple
ServerLayout
sections in the config file. The format of the
ServerLayout
section is as
follows:
