Hi,

Basically XF86Config is to be read and interpreated from standard locations
via startx (xdm) and associated scripts. Your window manager mostly nicely
pics this up.
Thus, there is no need to copy XF86Config around, leave it where it is.
What you can do is to change your X-window managers behaviour.
Honestly speeking you can move XF86Config and associates to where ever
you want, but why move it to none standard.

Will this help ?

Hans.

Hi, there,

When I log in using my user name, type "startx", the X-window works fine.

But if I log in a root, and copy the XF86Config file to /etc/X11/, then run "startx", I can only see the "X" cursor, the background becomes black.

It happens on RedHat 8.0.

What may be wrong?

Thanks ahead!

Michael
