Hello SuSE people.
Asked this question a little over a month ago and got no response. I just need to know the answer to this.
Running 9.2 with all updates. Please confirm or reject my assumptions.
9.2 uses xorg. correct? Anything written about X should be written to xorg.conf correct?
Here is my point. When I installed 9.2 all of the parameters of my monitor were written to xorg.conf. I changed out the monitor to a new tft/lcd monitor. Sax wrote the parameters of the new monitor to XF86Config. (The old monitor is still present in xorg.conf)
Now, everything seems to be working correctly but has left me somewhat confused and bewildered. Is my system using xorg, like it should be in 9.2 or has it changed up and is now using XF86Config. Or, is it using some combination of the two. Why did Yast do this?
I'll probably buy 10.0 when it is released so it is probably a moot point. Still would like to understand this though.

I've seen previously, not in 9.3, though I may have changed it, xorg.conf as a symlink to XF86Config. You can do "ls -l /etc/X11" to see what's there. /var/log/Xorg.0.log will give you a blow by blow account of what X uses. # grep xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg.0.log (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
