More X11 config mysteries
Hi, investigating the cause why the displaymanager sysconfig file is not written correctly, I found out some other mysteries: The reason why one cannot set sysconfig variables in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager seems to be that the X11 configuration is done after that file was written (which is a bug, IMO). Putting the whole config file /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager into the <files> section doesnt help (probably for the same reason). I could not manage to switch off the X11 configuration step; if I put <x11> <configure_x11 config:type="boolean">false</configure_x11> </x11> the configuration is done anyway (at least, the X11 config screen is displayed after reboot). I could also not manage to switch off X11 in the configuration; putting <x11> <configure_x11 config:type="boolean">true</configure_x11> <start_x11 config:type="boolean">false</start_x11> </x11> doesn't switch off the X11 start. It looks like as if the <x11> section is ignored at all in the installation process (always doing an X11 default configuration). Does the X11 configuration have a different flag than <x11>? BTW, is there a reason why my mails to the list are ignored at all? Are they somehow wrong? Best regards Ole -- GMX im TV ... Die Gedanken sind frei ... Schon gesehen?

Who is ignoring your emails? If you think it is me ignoring your emails, then be sure I am not. When you mention a problem here I can't always reply when I read it because I need to verify the issue first, and I can verify every issue reported instantly, so it takes time. Thanks for the reports, Anas
Best regards
Ole
