Xorg performance

When I have a normal .xinitrc that takes me to xfce, etc. every thing seems to work fine.

I wanted to know 3 things:

1- Where can I see a list of all the available options of the xorg.conf and their respective purposes? # So I don't have to bother people

2- I have a nvidia driver and the performance seems to be inferior to that of Ubuntu even with my lightweight system configuration:
That makes me wonder if I've put RenderAccel in the right place at the xorg.conf. Is it at the Screen section or at the Device section (graphic card) ?


3- When I create a .xinitrc file that only has this:

blender -W

I can move the mouse but i cannot click within the program although the keyboard works fine too.

I wanted to know how to fix that to run apps with all the performance I can get.



Thanks

Re: Xorg performance

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks smile

*How do I know if Xorg is not overriding my graphic card settings? I say this because I set NoLogo to false and still I don't see a logo and the new setting seem to have no effect?!

*I still found no solution to my 3rd problem in the first post - can you please help?

*My xorg.conf has no "Monitor " section. (I made it by hand - I believe the Screen should be replaced by monitor? ) - By the way I'm running without hal
What should I change in the xorg.conf?

Section "Module"
    Load "freetype"
    Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "GF 7600GT"
    Driver    "nvidia"

    Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
    Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

#    Option "BackingStore" "True" #May cause crashes
    Option "DamageEvents" "True"
    Option "NoLogo" "False"

Re: Xorg performance

I don't know if it will work without hal but did you try 'X -configure' to get a template xorg.conf and then edit it to your needs?
