 # LCDd.conf
 #
-# Each driver has a section which defines how it acts.
-# Drivers which are supported but unused are ignored.
-# Each driver section is begun by a "[drivername]" line
-# with no white space in the line at all.
+# This file contains the configuration for the LCDd server.
+# 
+# The format is ini-file-like. It is divided into sections that start at
+# markers that look like [section]. Comments are all line-based comments,
+# and are lines that start with '#' or ';'.
 #
-# There is currently only one keyword for the driver sections:
+# The server has a 'central' section named [server]. Further each driver 
+# has a section which defines how the driver acts.
 #
-# Arguments <str>
+# The drivers are activated by specifiying them in a driver= line in the
+# server section, like:
 #
-#   These are the arguments to be passed to the
-#   driver, without quotes.  These are the same
-#   arguments that the driver would have been passed
-#   under the old command line format of
+#   Driver=curses
 #
-#      -d <driver> "<driverargs>"
+# This tells LCDd to use the curses driver. The first driver that is
+# loaded and is capable of output becomes 'the' output driver.
+# All extra drivers can only serve as input.
+# The default driver to use is curses.
 #
-# Before the driver sections, global settings can be set.
+# In the driver sections currently only one keyword is recognized:
 #
-# Global settings are:
+#   Arguments="place arguments here"
 #
-# Driver <str>
+# These are the arguments to be passed to the driver, without quotes.
+# These are the same arguments that the driver would have been passed
+# under the old command line format of
 #
-#   Use the specified driver.  Second and further instances
-#   of this command add input drivers to the server;
-#   output is only to the first driver.  The default driver
-#   to use is curses.
