The ServerLayout Section
As noted previously, the ServerLayout section of the xorg.conf file
defines the display and screen layouts, and it names the input devices. A
typical ServerLayout section from an automatically configured
xorg.conf file might look like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
In this example, a single display is used (the numbers designate the positions
of a screen), and two default input devices, Mouse0 and Keyboard0, are
used for the session.
The Files Section
The Files section of the xorg.conf file might look like this:

Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection
This section lists available session colors (by name, in the text file rgb.txt)
and the port number to the X font server. The font server, xfs, is started at
boot and does not require an active X session. If a font server is not used, the
FontPath entry could instead list each font directory under the
/usr/lib/X11/fonts directory, as in this example:

FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
...
These directories contain the default compressed fonts that are available for
use during the X session. The font server is configured by using the file
