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 $ ls test.conf test.conf $ sudo X -config test.conf _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/taisa:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux taisa 2.6.20-1-686 #1 SMP Tue Feb 20 22:59:46 UTC 2007 i686 Build Date: 07 March 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
