I was under the impression that the folder /etc/X11is the folder only
scanned and used. That is why I put the backup copy there. My
question is: is this behavior a know thing and I missed it, or can
others be bitten by this also?
P.S. the mouse is still not scrolling. Any help with this would be
great.
Thanks
Thanks, it seems the system searchs farther than I understood. Based on
what I have read on gdm, the X server is started by a non-privliged
user, to avoid possiblities of exploition of the system via the login
area. If this is in fact true then the search for the xorg.conf file
would be limited to the /usr or /etc folders, not the / folder.
Does there need to be an update to the man file, or is this a
undocumented feature?
