generate xorg.conf

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello,

please, how do one generate an xorg.conf file on openBSD?

I thought running
X -configure
(or X :1 -configure, if X is running)
would generate one, however, there seems to be no option -configure
present. So how, then?

(I want to read xorg.conf and then modify some parts to try to use wacom intuos3
tablet [pressure sensitivity].)

Thanks
Ruda

If you need xorg.conf at all, it might be best
to read xorg.conf(5) and write your own by hand.

You mean, you have installed OpenBSD on this tablet?

The intuos 3 is a graphics tablet human interface device, not a tablet
computer.

I remember doing this long time ago when there were three monitors on my
desk.

On my desktop, I had to do the following steps to create this file:

1) Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add the line

machdep.allowaperture=1

2) Reboot

3) X -configure

Once I did that, there was a file called xorg.conf.new in the root
directory. There was also a log file /var/log/Xorg.1.log that may give you
more details.

You don't need to include any of the other parts, just include the parts you
need for the wacom in the xorg.conf file.
