Description Dax Kelson 2004-04-26 19:40:26 UTC
Description of problem:

I just installed current rawhide which I believe is the same as FC2 test3.

In firstboot, I changed my display properties from "thousands" to
"millions" of colors.

It appears as if that created (or possibly modified) the file
/etc/X11/XF86Config since I now have two files /etc/X11/XF86Config and
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and the XF86Config has the 'millions' of colors
setting.

Comment 1 Phil Schaffner 2004-04-27 13:30:23 UTC
This appears to be a duplicate of 121725.  The X setup run from
firstboot creates /etc/X11/XF86Config but X starts with the default
values in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Copying /etc/X11//XF86Config over
/etc/X11/xorg.conf gives the behavior specified by the user during
firstboot setup.  The firstboot X setup should write to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and there is no apparent reason to have
etc/X11/XF86Config.

Comment 2 Dax Kelson 2004-04-27 16:29:25 UTC
Agreed (it was tired when I was filing these bugs). But this bug is
against the offending component.
