sax2 is basically an editor for xorg.conf - problem is: Xorg doesn't want an xorg.conf anymore, but do everything dynamic in desktop tools. So there is no "symlink" to do. weel a symlink displaying exactly this :-)
but how will us do when nothing is displaying? I used to run sax2-vesa and that worked alomost always
'x11failsafe' boot param is still available (also used by failsafe boot entry). This forces X (in more detail displaymanagers, which make use of xdm init script) to use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install as configuration. This is the config file from installation, for which we still prefer fbdev/vesa driver. Hope this helps.
I had more than one user who by experimenting with drivers, window managers and different repos completely screw up their X configuration. As stated in http://www.novell.com/communities/node/1323/how+reconfigure+your+screen+yast... the easisest way to get them out of this mess was a sax2 -a -r as root in runlevel 3. Displaymanagers' configuration tools are of no help here. Which command line tool would be as easy and straightforward to use? Best Regards Nico
Best regards, Stefan
