Hello. From xorg manual it's being said xorg will try to use getconfig
if it cannot find an xorg.conf config file. here is the quotes:
Starting with version 4.4, Xorg has a mechanism for
automatically generating a built-in configuration at run-time
when no xorg.conf file is present. The current version of this
automatic configuration mechanism works in three ways.
[...]
The second is to use an external utility called getconfig(1),
when available, to use meta-configuration information to
generate a suitable configuration for the primary video device.
The meta-configuration information can be updated to allow an
existing installation to get the best out of new hardware or to
work around bugs that are found post-release.
Now I wish to set up a SuSE installation with my configuration for
getconfig (because I got some special situation that normal xorg.conf
doesn't fit), but SuSE's xorg seems to ignore getconfig.
A.k.a. a normal xorg should start with this message:
...
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sun Sep 24 07:34:55 2006
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
xf86AutoConfig: Primary PCI is 0:15:0
Running "/usr/X11R6/bin/getconfig -X 60900000 -I

exec: perl: not found
(==) Using default built-in configuration (43 lines)
...
However SuSE 10.2's xorg start with this message:
...
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sun Jan 7 21:11:37 2007
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(==) Using default built-in configuration (55 lines)
...
see, the section of looking for getconfig is completely ignored. So, if
I want getconfig feature back, what can I do? Should I recompile xorg
from source from official xorg distribution? Should I simply add some
parameter to X to re-enable getconfig (manual didn't say this works)?
Thanks for any advice!
