You have been subscribed to a public bug: Basically the real issue is that whenever there's an error in some xorg configruation file, xorg fails to start, instead of trying to fallback to some minimal working settings and/or printing debuggable information about the error. It's too fragile. By doing something wrong with some xorg configuration file, you may end up with a system that won't even boot and allow you to fix the error.
I'll delete the original description as it is not relevant. (I guess it can be seen anyway in the edit history) See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1239472 which is a somehow related case (an error in some xorg config file rendering the whole system unusable, and no clue to the user about it) ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: bot-comment -- Xorg should be way more resilient or at least print detailed information in presence of errors in configuration files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
