xorg.conf shouldn't be needed anymore, except in very special circumstances
A virtually blind OP doesn't count as a very special circumstance?
You keep hiding behind this excuse re the OP.
Please explain this concept of "hiding behind". I don't know your meaning.
You keep bringing this up - I think that this is the second time you have referred to his condition. If this was so important why didn't you say so to begin with; if not this then why didn't YOU ask the question(s) here?
tell him/her go mention this? Why didn't you say this when you posted your initial message or even
Were the typos and obviously errant spaces and other characters in the OP not sufficiently indicative of a special problem?
Do you actually READ the posts in this mail list?! Many people who post here do not have English as their first language and therefore some of their posts require a heap of patience to interpret as to what they are actually trying to state. Typos and grammatical errors are therefore simply ignored and not paid attention to. So, to answer your emotive question: the answer is NO! it is NOT indicative of any special problem.
How often must a regular poster here for several years (Bob Stia <911@pasco.org> in this case) for the benefit of the other regulars here need to reiterate his handicap as the reason for or a compounding effect of a problem he's asking for help with? You think a handicapped person is proud to be handicapped rather than wishing to forget its existence and be like normal people?
What the heck ARE you on about? Stop being such a drama queen. So Bob has a handicap and we - at least I now do - all now know about it. As someone who also has hassles with his eye-sight I thoroughly sympathise with him. But the question now is: after reading all the suggestions posted in this thread, have you provided Bob with the answer he wanted?
Why not just answer the actual question? It's well known that there are special cases (e.g. proprietary drivers not supporting KMS; forcing disregard of EDID) where automagic can't work, only handled by having an xorg.conf file, which is why xorg.conf is still supported.
<Sigh> Why are you adding unnecessary noise? Have you given Bob the answer he wanted to his question? BC -- Aspire to inspire before you expire. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
