18 This is the contents on two systems here, both with radeon cards:
19
20 $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20opengl.conf
21 Section "Files"
22 EndSection
23
24 No "ModulePath" there.

51 # qfile /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20opengl.conf
52 #
53 # equery b /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20opengl.conf
54 * Searching for /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20opengl.conf ...

57 Nothing seems to claim it. Perhaps this is cruft left over from some older
