You are aware that the 'working xorg.conf' your are talking about could be about 3 lines, right ? Section ServerFlags Option AIGLX off EndSection so, i'd prefer to have a file in /etc/default/ where i could define AIGLX to be disabled and Xorg, when starting takes that into account when creating its configuration.

Bug#619061: xserver-xorg-core: introduce /etc/default/ configfile replacing xorg.conf
tag 619061 wontfix thanks arne anka deb...@ginguppin.de (20/03/2011): on all computers i own (notably netbooks), one of the first things i do, is disabling AIGLX (i never understood, what importance it has to get fance desktop effects, justifying setting that as a default). just to disable, i need to create a basic, working xorg.conf for only the line AIGLX off. it's rather a waste. What is the problem with having it on? so, i'd prefer to have a file in /etc/default/ where i could define AIGLX to be disabled and Xorg, when starting takes that into account when creating its configuration. Handling more configuration seems like something I'm unwilling to implement or maintain, so tagging as wontfix. i cvould still profit from Xorg's dynamic autoconfiguration and, yet, would not have to sacrify resources to fancy effects i have no use for. You could just not install a desktop environment which does those unwanted effects or you could just disable them? KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
