Modifying Xconfig Files
You can edit the settings in your personal Xconfig files at any time before or after starting the X session. In most cases, if you edit the settings after you connect, you must reset the X server in order for the new settings to take effect. Some changes require you to restart Exceed onDemand Client.
To edit the options in an Xconfig file before using it to start an
X session:

- In the Exceed onDemand Client dialog box, specify the host (Exceed onDemand Server machine) as well as your user ID and password.
- In the Configuration area, click the Xconfig browse button (...). The Exceed onDemand Xconfig Manager dialog box opens.
- Select the Xconfig file you want to edit. If the file list does not contain the Xconfig file you want to edit, click Refresh.
