File Paths
After the keyboard setup XFree86 locates the path to the RGB database, to the modules and to where the fonts are. This is how it looks in the log:
01] (**) FontPath set to "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic,/more-paths.." 02] (**) RgbPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" 03] (==) ModulePath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"Line 1: All the directories in which the X server searches for fonts are output. The paths are defined with a number of FontPaths in Section "Files" in XF86Config:
Instead of letting X load all the fonts by itself you can use a fontserver. xfs is a fontserver included in X which usually listens to port 7100. To use it you only need to specify one FontPath:
Line 2: Specifies the path and firstname of the RGB database which is a file. In this case it would be located at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt and contain a list of color codes along with their color names. X itself appends the file ending.
Line 3: The path to where all modules are located. The default is usually fine. It is needed for XFree86 to be able to find the modules specified in Section "Module".

Famous quotes containing the words file and/or paths:
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Now it is the time of night
That the graves, all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite
In the church-way paths to glide.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
