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:
“While waiting to get married, several forms of employment were acceptable. Teaching kindergarten was for those girls who stayed in school four years. The rest were secretaries, typists, file clerks, or receptionists in insurance firms or banks, preferably those owned or run by the family, but respectable enough if the boss was an upstanding Christian member of the community.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same.”
—Chinese proverb.
