Configuring Linux*

This section describes how to edit the Linux X server configuration file for use with the Intel® EMGD.

Configuration Overview

Intel® EMGD auto-detects all device information necessary to initialize the integrated graphics device in most configurations. However, you can customize the Intel® EMGD configuration for any supported display by editing the X server’s configuration file, xorg.conf. Please refer to the Xorg(5x) man page for general configuration details. This section only covers configuration details specific to the Intel® EMGD.

To configure Intel® EMGD for Linux*, you must edit the X server’s configuration file. You can either edit the configuration directly or you can use CED to create configurations that must then be copied into the configuration file. Even if you use CED to create a configuration, you must still edit the Linux configuration file.

The following sections describe methods of configuring the Intel® EMGD for the Linux operating system.
