+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.B Weston
+obtains configuration from its command line parameters and the configuration
+file described here.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Weston
+uses a configuration file called
+.I weston.ini
+for its setup.
+The
+.I weston.ini
+configuration file is searched for in one of the following places when the
+server is started:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.BR "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/weston.ini " "(if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set)"
+.BR "$HOME/.config/weston.ini " "(if $HOME is set)"
+.BR "<current dir>/weston.ini " "(if both variables were not set)"
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+where environment variable
+.B $HOME
+is the user's home directory, and
+.B $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
+is the user specific configuration directory.
+.PP
+The
+.I weston.ini
+file is composed of a number of sections which may be present in any order, or
+omitted to use default configuration values. Each section has the form:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+.nf
+.BI [ SectionHeader ]
+.RI Key1=Value1
+.RI Key2=Value2

+.RE
+.PP
+The spaces are significant.
