I think that if /etc/profile.d exists and the command is ran as root,
it should work. As for the variables not added, does /etc/profile have
for script in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
if [ -r $script ] ; then
. $script
fi
see
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/profile.html
The scripts in /etc/profile.d must be sourced to have effect. Thats why
their mode is 644. Try . /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh
I recall that I saw warnings too about --disable-static by some xorg
packages which didn't had this option, but that was harmless
