Description:

Many X-related man pages (for example, Xserver(1), Xorg(1)) refer to man page X(7), which doesn't exist on my clean ArchLinux installation:

$ man X
No manual entry for X
$ man 7 X
No manual entry for X in section 7

I found out that Ubuntu have the same problem (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/292041), which can be solved by installation of Debian-specific package 'xorg-docs'. Unfortunately I didn't find any similar packages in ArchLinux repos.

I asked about this problem in forum (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69414) but nobody answered.

P.S. Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.
