configuring X Windows on HP-UX (other graphics cards)

the XF86Config file

“Module” section

The Module section is used to specify which X Server modules should be loaded. The types of modules normally loaded in this section are X Server extension modules, and font rasterizer modules. Most other module types are loaded automatically when they are needed via other mechanisms.

There may only be one Module section in the config file. The format of the Module section is as follows:

Section ìModuleî

Load ìModuleNameî

. . .

[SubSection ìModuleNameî

Option . . .

. . .

EndSubSection]

. . .

EndSection.

Load instructs the server to load the module called ModuleName. The module name given should be the module's extension name, not the module file name. The extension name is case-sensitive, and does not include the “lib” prefix, or the “.1” suffix.

Example: the Double Buffered Extension (DBE) can be loaded with the following entry:

Load ìdbeî

SubSection also instructs the server to load the module called ModuleName. The module name given should be the module's extension name, not the module file name. The extension name is case-sensitive, and does not include the “lib” prefix, or the “.1” suffix. The difference is that the listed Options are passed to the module when it is loaded.

Modules are searched for in each directory specified in the ModulePath search path (or the default ModulePath if one is not specified in the Files section) and in the drivers, input, extensions, fonts, and HP-UX subdirectories of each directory in the ModulePath.
