To configure the Xorg X11 window system on a Linux system, you can use the following steps:
- Check which video driver is currently in use by running the following command:
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
This will display the video card and driver that is currently in use.
- Edit the Xorg configuration file, which is typically located at
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. If the file does not exist, you can create it with the following command:
sudo Xorg -configure
This will create a new configuration file based on the system’s hardware.
- Open the configuration file in a text editor and make any necessary changes. The file will contain sections for the video driver, monitor, and input devices. Make sure that the correct video driver is specified for your system.
- Save the changes to the configuration file and exit the text editor.
- Restart the Xorg server to apply the changes by running the following command:
sudo service gdm3 restart
Note that the exact command may vary depending on the Linux distribution and window manager in use.
By following these steps, you can configure the Xorg X11 window system on a Linux system. It is important to ensure that the configuration file is set up correctly to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with the system’s hardware.
