    -Install
    Run "sh xgi_xg27_xxxx_<version>.run"
    ex: sh xgi_xg27_x86_64_xorg_2_68_01.run
    sh xgi_xg27_x86_xorg_2_68_01.run
    -Uninstall
    Run "sh xgi_xxxx_#_#_#.run --noexec --target xgi
    ex: $sh xgi_xg27_x86_64_xorg_2_68_01.run --noexec --target xgi
    $sh uninstall.sh
    $sh xgi_xg27_x86_xorg_2_68_01.run --noexec --target xgi
    $sh uninstall.sh

    ===========================================
    4. Insallation with TGZ
    ===========================================
    Usage:
    $ tar xvfzp xgipkg.tgz
    $ sh install.sh
    Reference Environment
    X11R6 - use as the root path for X11R6 system.
    Installation action
    1. copy xgi_drv.o to ${X11R6}/lib/modules/drivers for driver of Xorg
    2. modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf to enable it.
    Uninstallation action
    $ sh uninstall.sh
    1. remove xgi_drv.o from ${X11R6}/lib/modules/drivers for driver of Xorg
    2. Recover the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to recover the original status.
    ===========================================
    4. X Configuration
    ===========================================
    Tune the xorg.conf configuration file to taste.
    a. Open the file in a text editor such as emacs or vi.
    b. Check if the frequencies(HorizSync and VertRefresh in the Monitor section
    of X configure file) for the target system's monitor are correct.
    These are usually expressed as a horizontal(HorizSync) and vertical synch
    ronization(VertRefresh) rate.
    These values are added to the xorg.conf file under the "Monitor" section:
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName "Monitor Model"
    HorizSync 30-107
    VertRefresh 48-120
    EndSection
    The shorter the ranges of HorizSync and VertRefresh defined in the config
    ure file are , The less the modes X support are.
    The user can use the utility such as Xconfigurator to update the horizont
    al(HorizSync) and vertical synchronization(VertRefresh) rate for the monitor
    , or simply edit the X configuration file (xorg.conf or XFree86) by hand.
