Question: a HOWTO for btnx would be wicked. preferably fully-fledged, but basics would be good too. This would help migrate the user from being expected to edit xorg.conf to using a GUI-only utility to setup their mouse configurations.

X

Request:

Topic: X-Window

Question:

The reference manual says in the chapter "X-Window-System / Manually Configuring the X Window System": "Those who try to develop their own monitor descriptions should be very familiar with the documentation in /usr/share/X11/doc." (http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse103/opensuse103_reference/data/book_opensuse_reference.html)

But in /usr/share/X11/doc there are only DocBook 4.2 SGML-files. I assume that this documentation is useful for other topics too. I didn't find any hint how to use these files. DocBook 4.2-files cannot be opened in openSUSE 10.3.

On the DocBook website there is a very general description how to convert DocBook 4.2 files into DocBook 5.0 (http://www.docbook.org/docs/howto/#convert4to5). Because I am not familiar with DocBook I cannot use this description.

In the chapter there is also the subchapter "For More Information". This recommends to install xorg-x11-doc and howtoenh. But there is no hint how to access this documentation. Yelp does not display any entry for X-Window.

Questions:

1) How to access the documentation of /usr/share/X11/doc, xorg-x11-doc and howtoenh?

2) How to convert DocBook 4.2 files to DocBook 5.0 files?

3) Because of what reasons DocBook 4.2 files are provided with X-Window? 5.0 files would be easier!

4) How to integrate DocBook 5.0 files into the Yelp menu?

Answer:

Answer: to 1) After installing the package xorg-x11-doc you have html, pdf or postscript files below /usr/share/X11/doc. Just use those. All manuals in the package howtoenh should be available from the KDE- or GNOME Helpcenter. If you want to know where those html files are located, just type rpm -ql howtoenh after installing this package. see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335450
