There can be many more lines like these. Each FontPath line sets the path to a directory containing X11 fonts. In general, you shouldn't have to modify these lines; just be sure there is a FontPath entry for each font type you have installed (i.e., for each directory in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts). If you add the string :unscaled to a FontPath, the fonts from this directory will not be scaled. This is often an improvement because fonts that are greatly scaled look ugly. In addition to FontPath, you can also set a RgbPath for finding the RGB color database (unlikely to be necessary), and a ModulePath, to point to a directory with dynamically loaded modules. Those modules are currently used for some special input devices, as well as the PEX and XIE extensions.

The next section is ServerFlags, which specifies several global flags for the server. This section is often empty or very small:

Section "ServerFlags"

Option "AllowMouseOpenFail"

EndSection

Here, we say that we want the X server to start up even if it cannot find the mouse. For more options, please see the documentation at http://www.x.org. Often, options will be autodetected at server startup, so they don't need to be listed here.

The next section is the Module section, with which you can dynamically load additional X server modules, such as support for special hardware or graphics libraries such as PEX. It is also used for loading the freetype support library and the video and 3D support. Here is a sample Module section:

Section "Module"

Load "v4l"

Load "extmod"

Load "type1"

Load "freetype"

Load "dbe"

Load "dri"

Load "speedo"

Load "glx"

EndSection

The next sections are InputDevice. You usually have at least two: one for the keyboard and one for the mouse. If you have other input devices, such as a graphics tablet, these will go into additional sections:

Section "InputDevice"

Driver "kbd"

Identifier "Keyboard[0]"

Option "Protocol" "Standard"

Option "XkbLayout" "us"

Option "XkbModel" "pc105"

Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

Driver "mouse"

Identifier "Mouse[1]"

Option "ButtonNumber" "7"

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

Option "Name" "Autodetection"

Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"

Option "Vendor" "Sysp"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

Again, other options are available as well. The keyboard configurations listed previously are for a U.S. keyboard; for other keyboards, you will need to replace them with lines suitable for your keyboard.

The mouse section tells the X server where the mouse is connected (/dev/mouse in this case, which is usually a link to the appropriate port, such as /dev/ttyS0), what kind of mouse it is (the "Protocol" option) and some other operational details. It is important for the protocol to be right, but the aforementioned configuration programs should usually find out the protocol automatically.

BusMouse should be used for the Logitech busmouse. Note that older Logitech
