     36
     37    <para>As the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user

     57    <para>The screen will go black and you may hear some clicking of the

     70        You may want to put 100dpi fonts ahead of 75dpi fonts if your system
     71        normally comes up closer to 100 dots per inch. You may want to remove
     72        some font directories completely.</para>

     78      <listitem>
     79        <para>Sections "InputDevice". You may want to change the

     92      </listitem>
     93      <listitem><para>Section "Screen". Add a DefaultDepth statement such as:
     94        <option>DefaultDepth 24</option>. In the SubSection for your

     96        <option>Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768"</option>. The first

     110    but it confirms the system is working. Exit with
     111    <keycap>Control+Alt+Backspace</keycap>. If the system does not work, take
     112    a look at <filename>/var/log/Xorg.0.log</filename> or
     113    <filename>/var/log/XFree86.0.log</filename> to see what went
     114    wrong.</para>
     115
     116    <para>As the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, create
     117    the configuration directory and move the configuration file to the new
     118    directory:</para>
     119
     120    <para>For <application>Xorg</application>:</para>

     140    <note>
     141      <para>The default configuration for <application>Xorg</application>
     142      includes <application>xterm</application>. 
     143      <application>Xorg</application>'s modular distribution no longer includes
     144      <application>xterm</application>, and
     145      as a result, the <command>startx</command> command will fail if you have
     146      not installed <xref linkend="xterm2"/> when using the modular X Window
     147      System.</para>

     153
     154    <para>When needed, the X Window System creates the directory
     155    <filename class='directory'>/tmp/.ICE-unix</filename> if it does not
     156    exist. If this directory is not owned by
     157    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>,
     158    the X Window System delays startup by a few seconds and also
     159    appends a warning to the logfile. This also affects startup of other
     160    applications. To improve performance, it is advisable to manually create
     161    the directory before the X Window System uses it. Add the file creation
     162    to <filename>/etc/sysconfig/createfiles</filename> that is sourced by
     163    the <filename>/etc/rc.d/init.d/cleanfs</filename> startup script.</para>
