Starting the X Window System

The xorg.conf file is located in the /usr/etc/X11 directory. Make a copy of the
factory default xorg.conf file so that you can make your configuration changes. An
example xorg.conf file for the SGI
Virtu VN200 is listed below for reference.
The X server can be modified by:
• Manually editing xorg.conf file
•Using the /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig tool
After editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, reboot the system so that the changes can
take effect.
Note: Each time X starts a log file is generated in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Common
problems that occur after editing the xorg.conf file can be solved by examining this
file.
Detailed information on editing xorg.conf can be obtained by using the
man
xorg.conf command from the Linux prompt. Enter man nvidia-xconfig from
the linux prompt to learn more about the xconfig tool. Also refer to
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/readme.txt file.
