FWIW: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html Doesn't have the section I am citing above, anymore. So, ... wild guess: Implementation vs. docs mismatch in F8 :/ Auch, ajax? It's not valid syntax in xserver 1.3.0, correct. It is valid in rawhide, and will be valid in xserver 1.5. The manual for the X server in F8 does mention the Disable keyword, because the man page was updated whole from upstream without much thought. Building a fix for that as 1.3.0.0-41.fc8. xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-41.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8 Fixed in updates. |
Description of problem: man 5 xorg.conf documents: <snip> ... MODULE SECTION ... Disable "modulename" ... </snip> Trying to use Section "Module" Disable "glx" EndSection in xorg.conf results into a parse error: ... Parse error on line 18 of section Module in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "Disable" is not a valid keyword in this section .... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-39.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add the "Module" section above to /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2. Try to launch x-server (I use run-level 3 and startx) Actual results: Breakdown, x-server doesn't start. Expected results: Function. Either I am mis-interpreting the man page, there is a mis-match between docs and implementation, or ... there is a bug somewhere. Additional info: I could have sworn 'Disable "..."' once had worked, but ... I could be wrong ;)
