The configuration file XF86Config of the XFree86 project is used by the X server to set necessary configuration parameters. It is a plain text file ordered into sections and subsections. Important sections are Files , InputDevice , Monitor , Modes , Screen , Device , and ServerLayout .
A mode line may also refer to a line for the Emacs and Vim editors that provides information about the file and modes.. A modeline is a configuration line in xorg.conf or the XFree86 configuration file (XF86Config) that provides information to the display server about a connected computer monitor or television and how to drive it at a specified display resolution.
The basic configuration file is /etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) that includes variables about the screen (monitor), keyboard and graphics card. The program xf86config is often used, although xf86cfg also comes with the XFree86 server and is friendlier.
Most drivers implement acceleration using the XAA module. XAA is on by default, though acceleration of individual functions can be switched off as needed in the server configuration file (XF86Config or xorg.conf). The driver for the ARK chipset was the original development platform for XAA.
This was a plain text file with simple key–value pairs (e.g. DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS) until MS-DOS 6, which introduced an INI-file style format. There was also a standard plain text batch file named AUTOEXEC.BAT that ran a series of commands on boot. Both these files were retained up to Windows 98SE, which still ran on top of MS-DOS.

The file xorg.conf is a file used for configuring the X.Org Server.While typically located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, its location may vary across operating system distributions (See manual, "man xorg.conf" for details and further possible locations).
I changed this redirect to instead of redirecting to "X Window System" it redirects to "XF86Config" (because the files are nearly identical). If XF86Config is not changed in the future to something like "X config file" or "xorg.conf" (this is the name in X.org) we might want to change this page to redirect to "X.org Server". --80.63.213.182 13:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC) []
