After compiling the tree, or after installing the binary distribution you
can get man to recognise the XFree86 man pages by adding
/usr/X11R6/man
to
the MANPATH
in /etc/default/man
, the line should
look similar to:
MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man
This allows all users to view the X man pages. You may change your own
MANPATH
environment variable if you do not want everyone to access the
man pages.
By default the man pages are compressed using ``compress
'' to
conserve space. If you do not want to compress the man pages change
CompressManPages
to NO
in your ``xf86site.def
''
file. Those using the binary distribution can use ``uncompress
''
to uncompress the man pages.
