Debian's QA tool “lintian” reported a bad whatis entry for the xorg.conf(.d) manpages. It comes with the following pointers: For manual pages that document multiple programs, functions, files, or other things, the part before "\-" should list each separated by a comma and a space. […] Refer to the lexgrog(1) manual page, the groff_man(7) manual page, and the groff_mdoc(7) manual page for details. Indeed, the current situation is: $ whatis xorg.conf; whatis xorg.conf.d xorg.conf (5) - (unknown subject) xorg.conf.d (5) - (unknown subject) With this patch: xorg.conf (5) - configuration files for Xorg X server xorg.conf.d (5) - configuration files for Xorg X server Reviewed-by: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> |

X Server The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into. Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders. For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Please submit bug reports to the Xorg bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg The master development code repository can be found at: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver For patch submission instructions, see: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches For more information on the git code manager, see: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage
