NAME
SaX2 - SuSE advanced X11 configuration, a complete module
based X11 configurator
SYNOPSIS
sax2 [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
SaX2 is a program to configure the X-Server. It is able to
detect almost all stuff related to the graphics card. The
graphics card, Touchscreens, Tablets, 3D features,
AccessX, Keyboard, Mouse, Multihead, ... and more can be
configured using this tool.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
Available command line options are the following:
- -b [filename]
- Activate the SaX2 batch modus. If no filename is
given an interactive shell is started to set/over
write configuration parameters - -a Auto configure modus. Create an automatic configu
- ration without any needed user interaction and GUI.
- -l Enable low resolution. Allow only the 640x480 reso
- lution for the graphics setup. This is usefull if
the DDC probing of the monitor results in not dis
playable resolution values. - -m card X=module,card X=module,...
- Set driver module to use for card X You can specify
one driver module for each card detected. - -c chip,chip,...
- Set chip to use for configuration. The -p option
show all available chip numbers and you can select
the one you want to use for the configuration. - -d display-number
- Set the display manually instead of probing the
next free one. This is only usefull if SaX2 was
started from a text console. - -x Use server build in Modelines. This will prevent
- SaX2 from calculating its own modelines. The server
build in mode pool is used instead. This will only
work for VESA specified resolutions. - -u Use server mode suggestion. This will prevent SaX2
- from suggesting a resolution used for the configu
ration. The server itself will decide the best res
olution to use than. - -p Show PCI/AGP information about the detected graph
- ics card(s)
- -n node
- Set device node to use for the core pointer. This
will specify the port the mouse is connected to.
For serial mice use /dev/ttySX where X is the port
number of the serial device, for USB devices use
/dev/input/mice and for PS/2 devices use
/dev/psaux. - -t type
- Set protocol type to use for the core pointer. If
you are not sure about the protocol your mouse
understand please have a look at:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse - -g Use gpm as repeater of mouse events.
- -s This option only takes effect if SaX2 has to start
- its own X-Server. It will than use the system
installed config file instead of the HW detection
data. - -r Remove detection database and re-init the hardware
- database
- -v print version information and exit.
