Modifying Xconfig Files
You can edit the settings in your personal Xconfig files (.cfg) 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.
