Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
xorg.conf is not what it used to be. With automatic detection of hardware, settings in xorg.conf may be ignored, causing problems. For instance this is a problem I have just experienced of this kind: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5696425 Beyond that, it is not at all obvious what things like "configured video device" mean. I spent a good deal of time trying to find the file in which they were configured, which of course didn't exist. To remedy this, I suggest that the comments at the top of xorg.conf should explain very briefly the differences between how X used to get configured and how it gets configured now, the role of xorg.conf in that, and where to get further guidance about how to edit the file. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- xorg.conf file needs to inform people editing it that it doesn't work the way it used to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263124 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
