XF86Config

Hello there!

I'm wondering how to get the XF86Config, that is being used by X when it has initialized all my hardware.

I suppose it is not /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (of even the -in versions of both), since they reside on cdrom, which is read-only.

I would like to get the XF86Config, since I'm unable to create one myself, and knoppix seems to detect everything fine ;)

thanks all

Well first X will look for XF86Config-4 but if it doesn't find it then it looks for XF86Config.

You can use the XF86Config-4 from Knoppx quite easily. SImply boot the cd, mount a partition and do

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/hda2/etc/X11

voila!

HTH

cool!

thanks a lot for your help! finally a working XF86Config ;)
