-configure
When this option is specified, the XFree86 server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware, and writes out an initial XF86Config(5x) file based on what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration process. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
When I enter the XFree86 command with an invalid argument, the "-configure" option is not mentioned at all but an "-autoconfig" option is listed:
-autoconfig automatic configuration, even when a config file exits
Shouldn't the XFree86 help information when an invalid command line argument is specified match (or come close to matching) the man page?
Is this worth filing a bug report on?
Now, are "-autoconfig" and "-configure" the same option?
Thanks...
Peace...
