NAME
       getconfig - get configuration information for the Xorg server

SYNOPSIS
       getconfig [option ...]

DESCRIPTION
       getconfig  is a programatic interface that is used by the Xorg server to get configuration
       information about video hardware when operating without an xorg.conf file.

       This implementation of getconfig is written in  perl.   It  processes  a  prioritized  and
       ordered  list  of  rules supplied internally and from meta-configuration files.  The rules
       are in the form of perl expressions.  getconfig writes to standard output  the  xorg.conf-
       style  configuration  data  specified  by the last highest priority rule that evaluates to
       true.  Information about the format of the meta-configuration files can be  found  in  the
       getconfig(5x) manual page.

OPTIONS
       -I search-path
               Specify the search path to use for meta-config files.  search-path is a comma-sep-
               arated list of directories to search.   Each  directory  in  the  search  path  is
               searched for files with a .cfg suffix.  Each such file is opened and checked for a
               valid signature string.  Rules are read from files with a valid  signature  string
               and  appended  to  the list of rules to evaluate.  If no search path is specified,
               only the internally supplied configuration rules will be used.

       -D      Enable debugging output.

       -V      Print out the version information and exit.

       -X      Xorg-version Specify the Xorg version in numeric (integer) form.

       -b subsys-id
               Specify the PCI subsystem ID of the video device.

       -c class
               Specify the PCI class of the video device.

       -d device-id
               Specify the PCI devide ID of the video device.

       -r revision
               Specify the PCI revision of the video device.

       -s subsysvendor-id
               Specify the PCI subsystem vendor ID of the video device.

       -v vendor-id
               Specify the PCI vendor ID of the video device.

FILES
       .cfg files located in the search path.  The search path typically specified  by  the  Xorg
       server is:

           /etc/X11
           /usr/X11R6/etc/X11
           <modulepath>
           /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig

       where <modulepath> is the Xorg server’s module search path.
