Display options Hardware accelerated renderer in Pcbnew and Gerbview requires video card card with support of OpenGL v2.1 or higher. 2.2. Initialization of the default configuration The default configuration file named kicad.pro is supplied in kicad/template. It serves as a template for any Pcbnew (default text size, default line thickness, etc.) are also stored here. Another default configuration file named fp-lib-table may exist. It will be used only once to create a footprint library list;
