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 "pack
" under 3.2.2 and
"compress
" under 3.2.4 to conserve space. If you do not want to
compress
the man pages change CompressManPages
to NO
in your
xf86site.def
. Those
using the binary distribution can use "unpack
" or
"uncompress
" as appropriate
to uncompress the man pages.
