5. Miscellaneous

5.1. Directory rearrangements

Some changes to the installed XFree86 directory structure have been implemented for 4.0. One important change is a modified search path for the X server's XF86Config file. The details of this can be found in the XF86Config manual page. The other main change is moving most of the run-time configuration files to /etc/X11, with symbolic links in the old /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 location pointing to the new location. Some run-time generated files are now located under the appropriate subdirectories of /var, again with the relevant symbolic links in the old location.
