Package: Xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-11
Severity: normal
Hello,
The current behaviour of Xorg seems to be to ignore the '-config'
option, after printing an error, when the specified file is not found.
This is very confusing, as the error is easily missed. I don't see any
reason for the X server to continue when the user specifies a
configuration file and that file is absent - it should exit with a
non-zero exit code.
Also, as shown below, it seems that relative file paths are not
supported - this is also very confusing to new users.
Thanks,
Frederik
