Bug Description

Dapper does not have man pages for X11. I'm using x11-common version 7.0.0-0ubuntu17. man X, and man xorg.conf return nothing. There are probably others associated with x11 that I don't know about.

Will check why this is not included in Dapper. It might have been relocated somewhere. Thanks for the bug report.

'man xorg' works fine so this need seems to be covered

Henrik, "man xorg" isn't the manpage the submitter was asking about (and we have had others in the past, and they should come back)

the xorg man page refers to the xorg.conf man page, which definitely does not exist.

hw/xfree86/doc/man/xorg.conf.man.pre exists in xorg-server, but it's not in doc/ where Xserver.man.pre is. I think this is the one we want.
