When I bbappend the xserver-xf86-config_0.1 recipe in order to override the default xorg.conf, FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend doesn't seem to have an effect. As I am not adding an extra file but trying to replace the default file of the recipe, should I manipulate the FILESPATH variable? I am asking this because Paul mentioned that we should not modify the FILESPATH directly. Please guide me. Regards Joshua -- Joshua Immanuel HiPro IT Solutions Private Limited http://hipro.co.in
