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.
