Hi all !

At the moment I am interested in changing default font directories, and the only place I have found is /usr/share/sax/api/data/StaticFontPathList, however I find myself a bit reluctant to edit it, as it's supposed to be rpm-controlled and not edited by hands.

I'm not the final expert, but I guess you will need to do some changes by hand.

Question is how often the changes need to be made and how big is the effort to maintain the whole story.

I would do the following:

- Change to "/etc/X11"
- Save working "xorg.conf" to e.g. "xorg.conf-saxorg"
- Edit "xorg.conf"
- Save edited "xorg.conf" to e.g. "xorg.conf-mod"

As soon as a new versions of related files of tools are applied you need to check if changes need to be transfered. But that should not happen to often ...

Hand work, but should work. Of course you could do similar things with the "StaticFontPathList"

BTW, I have noticed that sax doesn't recognizes my mouse correctly.
I have a synaptics touchpad built-in in the notebook and an external wireless logitech, while sax detects 3 mouses, of which 2 are detected incorrectly and without manual intervention I couldn't get a working wheel.

What is the output of the command "hwinfo --mouse" ? To compare it I included the output of this command issued on my notebook:

I don't know if it helps, but here is the configuration of my notebook (external USB mouse [non-wireless / non-logitech] and Synaptics touchpad)
