In attempting to zero in on my system crash problem,
I need to customize xorg.conf.
As I read the documentation,
there is no way for an ordinary user to provide an xorg.conf;
Xorg looks for files in the normal server search path,
which does not include any user directories --
unless the user is root.
What if you do (as a user) the "startx" command and try
to hand the -config <file> to the program, like this:
% Xorg -file /home/user/test/xorg.conf
I haven't tried that myself, but according to "man Xorg"
this option does exist. However, I'm not sure if xinit
or startx honors this option if you use them (to make
use of ~/.xinitrc).
I think that should be
% Xorg -config /home/user/test/xorg.conf
