Two questions:
1. Is NOT making this directory a new thing for Xorg?
2. I have located all the stuff in /usr/X11R7 that is in my current
/etc/X11 directory. I think that all I have to do is copy stuff to
/etc/X11. Is that correct?
The instructions I've seen before suggest that /etc/X11 is a symbolic link
that points to /usr/X11R7/etc.
ln -v -sf /usr/X11R7/etc /etc/X11
That way you don't have to copy files. I think the symlinks are only intended
for "users"; that is, programs should be configured to look directly in
/usr/X11R7/etc but of course some will have presets, and some may assume you
have /usr/X11R6/etc or something else. So you may have to make some
additional compatibility symlinks if something complains.
Hi, Brandin.
First off, I haven't forgotten about the hint. It's just on the back
burner for awhile.
Anyway, there is no /usr/X11R7/etc directory--> X11R7 for the new
release. I've always thought it was redundant to have the same files in
/etc/X11 as there were in /usr/X11R7/<different directories>. AFAIK
Xorg, the executable, looks in /usr/X11R7/-whatever-/ for the default
settings for things like xterm, xclock, etc., unless these values are
overridden by ~/,xinitrc or ~/.xsession.
Looks like I'll just have to re-read a few man pages to put the
"changeable" files, like xorg.conf in the right places in /etc.
Thanks,
Dan
