Thanks, it seems the system searchs farther than I understood. Based on |
| 27 |
what I have read on gdm, the X server is started by a non-privliged |
| 28 |
user, to avoid possiblities of exploition of the system via the login |
| 29 |
area. If this is in fact true then the search for the xorg.conf file |
| 30 |
would be limited to the /usr or /etc folders, not the / folder. |
| 31 |
Does there need to be an update to the man file, or is this a |
| 32 |
undocumented feature? |
