Files

The Files section sets paths for services vital to the X server, such as the font path. This is an optional section, these paths are normally detected automatically. This section may be used to override any automatically detected defaults.

The following example illustrates a typical Files section:

Article "Files"
 RgbPath      "/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt"
 FontPath     "unix/:7100"
EndArticle

The following entries are commonly used in the Files section:

• RgbPath - Specifies the location of the RGB color database. This database defines all valid color names in X and ties them to specific RGB values.

• FontPath - Specifies where the X server must connect to obtain fonts from the xfs font server.

  By default, the FontPath is unix/:7100. This tells the X server to obtain font information using UNIX-domain sockets for inter-process communication (IPC) on port 7100.

  Refer to "Fonts" for more information concerning X and fonts.

• ModulePath - An optional parameter which specifies alternate directories which store X server modules.
