[SLE] login with alternate xorg.conf file (10.0)
I'm frustrated hunting down docs on this. e.g. #man kdm No manual entry for kdm #man xinitrc No manual entry for xinitrc #man xinit No manual entry for xini #man startx No manual entry for startx #man xorg.conf No manual entry for xorg.conf likewise for .xinitrc & .xserverrc. :-( man does work, as 'man man' does bring up a man page for man. Is there some extra man page rpm I need to install to have this information available? I did find man pages on the web for xinit & xinitrc, but they include no examples on point. Google's hits so far are just not on target. What I'm really after is different screen resolution settings either by user, which I would think would be set by .xinitrc or .xserverrc, or by tty, which I would hope would be configurable somehow within xorg.conf for each of :0, :1, :2, etc - or optionally both ways. Can anyone point me to useful docs for this? -- "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

I made some headway. I found that I can put export XORGCONFIG=<configfile> in .profile and get the desired result if I use startx, but it doesn't work in KDE/KDM for switch user -> start new session, and if I try to switch session from the initial session on tty7, the tty8 session is not listed, and in the tty8 session, there is no switch user menu option. What do I need to change so that it works in KDE/KDM? Does KDM read the personal startup options for all users listed in its login menu when it starts? -- "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
