X*screens File
For manual changes, please refer to the sample files in the /etc/X11/ directory. Three files of particular
interest are the X0screens, X0devices, and X0pointerkeys files.
Description of the X*screens Configuration File
This file belongs in /etc/X11/X*screens, where "*" is the display number of the server. For example, the
"X0screens" file is used when the $DISPLAY environment variable is set to <hostname>:0.<screen>
and the server is invoked using the ":0" option.
The X*screens file is used to specify:
• Device-independent server options, and
• For each screen:
o What device file to use (required),
o The default visual,
o Monitor size, and
o Device-dependent screen options.
__________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: All of the items above, except for device-independent server options, are specified on a per-
screen basis.
The X server supports up to four screens at a time. Specifying more than four screens will cause a server
error message.
