*** Please type your report below this line ***
(reportbug is currently broked, sorry for any
inconveniences this pasting may have..)
If this is the incorrect mail address I apologize, if
it would have to be resend please, please tell me and
I'll try to send it again to the more accurate
recipient. This is a real ugly bug that would
infuriate many newbies if they try, and possibly very
likely to do something like the following..
/etc/init.d/gdm without /etc/X11/XF86Config-4* or
/etc/X11/XF86Config
files may run (and without -xf86config)
/root/bak_XF86/XF86Config-4_0
wtf? No kidding..
so I had to move my XF86Config-4_0 and XF86Config-4_1
file to
/var/otherdir and solved the problem.
I marked this critical because there must be many
infuriated newbies not
knowing about lsof and their backup XF86Config-4*
files in /root being
used instead--
/root/XF86Config-4_* files may be used if
/etc/X11/XF86Config
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 exist-- but if these files of
/etc/X11 don't offer
a stable configuration..
filing bug for xserver-xfree86 as well.
wtf?! I was surprised too...hope this gets looked
into, many newbies may
be extremely infuriarted as wtf is going on..or if its
their system's
filesystem going corrupt blah blah..thanks for any
feedback..it would
greatly be appreciated..
