  The NVIDIA X Configuration Tool.

  This program is used to manipulate X configuration files, specifically to enable NVIDIA X driver functionality.

  Copyright (C) 2005 - 2010 NVIDIA Corporation.


  In its normal operation, nvidia-xconfig finds the system X configuration file (or generates a new X configuration if it cannot find the system file), makes sure
  the configuration is usable by the NVIDIA X driver, applies any updates requested on the commandline, and writes the new configuration to file.

  Please see the NVIDIA README for a description of NVIDIA X configuration file options.


nvidia-xconfig [options]

  -c XCONFIG, --xconfig=XCONFIG
      Use XCONFIG as the input X config file; if this option is not specified, then the same search path used by the X server will be used to find the X
      configuration file.

  -o OUTPUT-XCONFIG, --output-xconfig=OUTPUT-XCONFIG
      Use OUTPUT-XCONFIG as the output X configuration file; if this option is not specified, then the input X configuration filename will also be used as the
      output X configuration filename.

  -s, --silent
      Run silently; no messages will be printed to stdout, except for warning and error messages to stderr.

  -t, --tree
      Read the X configuration file, print to stdout the X configuration data in a tree format, and exit.

  -v, --version
      Print the nvidia-xconfig version and exit.

  -h, --help
      Print usage information for the common commandline options and exit.

  -A, --advanced-help
