Description of Problem: I have an open bug from Limbo #1 where anaconda-generated XF86Config did not work, but XConfigurator-generated XF86Config worked, so I wanted to check if this bug still existed in Limbo #2. After installing Limbo #2, and logging in, X did not start. And running redhat-config-xfree86 now results in a rather uninformative python traceback. It appears that redhat-config-xfree86 tries to run X using current settings, and when it fails, it just dies. It took me some time to figure out that I had to run redhat-config-xfree86 to be default. I think that redhat-config-xfree86 should automatically fall back to --reconfig if it detects that its first attempt to start X dies. After all, the most common situation where one would supposedly run redhat-config-xfree86 is to try to fix a non-working X configuration, and requiring a working X configuration for the default startup mode seems counter-productive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-xfree86-0.5.1-1 How Reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a borked XF86Config 2. Run redhat-config-xfree86 Actual Results: Observe the python traceback when X fails to start. Expected Results: Either fall back to --reconfig automatically, or at least prompt me: do you want to blow away your current config, and begin from scratch? Additional Information:
Falling back to --reconfig sounds right.
