  <H2><A NAME="2"></A>2. Setting Up The Correct Default Server</H2>

<p>The default server name is <code>/usr/X11R6/bin/X</code>.
This is a link to a specific server binary <code>XF86_xxxx</code>, located
in <code>/usr/X11R6/bin/</code>.  
You should check which server the X link is connected to.  
If it is not correct, remove it and make a new link to the correct
binary. 
The server binaries are:
<dl>
<dt><b>XF86_SVGA:</b><dd><p>Super-VGA server.  Contains accelerated support for
Cirrus 542{0,2,4,6,8,9}, 543{0,4} and Western
Digital 90C3{1,3} and Oak Technologies Inc. OTI087 chipsets,
unaccelerated for the rest of the supported chipsets.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_Mono:</b><dd><p>(S)VGA monochrome, optionally Hercules
or other monochrome hardware support is linked in.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_VGA16:</b><dd><p>Generic VGA 16-color server.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_S3:</b><dd><p>S3 accelerated server.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_Mach32:</b><dd><p>ATI Mach32 accelerated server.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_Mach64:</b><dd><p>ATI Mach64 accelerated server.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_Mach8:</b><dd><p>ATI Mach8 accelerated server.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_8514:</b><dd><p>8514/A accelerated server.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_P9000:</b><dd><p>P9000 accelerated server.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_AGX:</b><dd><p>AGX accelerated server.</p>
<dt><b>XF86_W32:</b><dd><p>ET4000/W32 and ET6000 accelerated server.</p>
</dl>
</p>
<p>There is a manual page for each of these servers; refer to the manual
page for specific details on supported chipsets and server-specific
configuration options.</p>
<p>Note that it is possible to modify the drivers configured into
a server via the LinkKit; the server binary may not contain all of
the possible drivers, depending on how the distribution was assembled.
You can run <code>/usr/X11R6/bin/X -showconfig</code> to get a printout of the
configured drivers.  If you need to relink your server, refer to the
<code>README</code> file in the LinkKit for specific information.</p>
