the X server calculates appropriate values from the general synchronization values. Theserver layout section specifies which Monitor section is relevant.Monitor definitions should only be set by experienced users. The modelines are animportant part of the Monitor sections. Modelines set horizontal and vertical timingsfor the respective resolution. The monitor properties, especially the allowed frequencies,are stored in the Monitor section.WARNINGUnless you have in-depth knowledge of monitor and graphics card functions,do not change the modelines, because this could severely damage your monitor.Those who try to develop their own monitor descriptions should be very familiar withthe documentation in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/ (the package xorg-x11-docmust be installed).Manual specification of modelines is rarely required today. If you are using a modernmultisync monitor, the allowed frequencies and optimal resolutions can, as a rule, beread directly from the monitor by the X server via DDC, as described in the SaX2configuration section. If this is not possible for some reason, use one of the VESAmodes included in the X server. This will work with almost all graphics card andmonitor combinations.23.2 Installing and Configuring FontsThe installation of additional fonts in SUSE Linux Enterprise is very easy. Simply copythe fonts to any directory located in the X11 font path (see Section 23.2.1, “X11 CoreFonts” (page 489)). The installation directory should be a subdirectory of the directoriesconfigured in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (see Section 23.2.2, “Xft” (page 490)) orincluded into this file with /etc/fonts/suse-font-dirs.conf.The following is an excerpt from /etc/fonts/suse-font-dirs.conf. Thisfile is included into the configuration, because it is linked into the directory /etc/fonts/conf.d which is included by /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. In this directory,all files or symbolic links starting with a two digit number are loaded by fontconfig.For a more detailed explanation of this functionality, have a look at /etc/fonts/conf.d/README.The X Window System 487
