# reconfig(1x)

convert old Xconfig to new XF86Config

## NAME

reconfig - convert old Xconfig to new XF86Config

## SYNOPSIS

**reconfig** \< *Xconfig* \> *XF86Config*

## DESCRIPTION

The *reconfig* program converts the Xconfig file format used in XFree86 versions prior to 3.1 into the XF86Config format currently used.  The XF86Config format contains more information than the Xconfig format, so manual editing is required after converting.

## SEE ALSO

XFree86-v3(1), XF86Config-v3(5), xf86config-v3(1)

## AUTHOR

Gertjan Akkerman.

## BUGS

Comment lines are stripped out when converting.
