Recipe 15.9. Setting a Default ServerLayout

15.9.1 Problem

You like having all those X startup options, but you also want a default, so you don't have to be bothered with selecting one every time.

15.9.2 Solution

Create a ServerFlags section to set the default. This must come before the ServerLayout entries:

Section "ServerFlags"   Option     "DefaultServerLayout"  "Xinerama" EndSection

Then simply use:

$ startx

to start an X session.
