Thread: Linpus anyone?

Was just something I saw on a Asus site talking about Linpus. Did you try to do a "locate xorg" or similar to see if a copy exists somewhere else?

Otherwise, looks like your either going to just have to use the copy-over workaround, hack the x startup script to use an alternate x conf (yours) or get very chummy with your startup scripts to see where it's getting generated.

Not everything those scripts use will be under /etc/init.d, they may run other scripts that may exist in /var or /etc or any other place the distro maker decided to install things.

I couldn't find much to the cause of why you might get an error with setting the immutable bit on the file, I saw it mentioned a few times, but found no answers. Only thing I can think of is the partition it's on is read-only or something.

i tired the locate but it doesnt find anything, even the original xorg.conf file.
i'll try to dig around some more over the weekend. where/what else should i look for?

Well, locate only looks at file names, not contents, you could try something like

Code:

grep -lir "xorg.conf" /etc/*

and it will output the name of anyfile on the system containing xorg.conf, probably want to look in /var as well.


Only thing I can suggest is trying to find some linpus forums where you can ask, or basically, reading through your init, from start to finish, including, well, all the includes to see what happens when. A bit tedious, but sometimes it's the only way.

I got a few files of interest from your command. Just posting them first now, i'll have a look at them soon.

Looks like autodetect_vga_driver.sh, though not sure why all of those xorg.conf.* files didn't show up with locate

i have no idea either.
after looking at the code for a while, i'm uncertain what on earth this code is doing?
can i just comment out the whole file?

It's checking the pci bus for specific cards, and if it finds it, copies the appropriate version of xorg.conf.whatever to xorg.conf

So you need to find which one it's using. A good first check would be to look at the ones which have the same file size as xorg.conf to figure out which.

Another way of doing it would be to go to each xorg.conf.whatever file and insert a comment with the name.
#xorg.conf.whatever

Then after a reboot, you'll know which xorg config file it's using. Then you know which one you have to modify. Once you figure it out, make a backup of it, and tweak away on it.

OK, i'm one step further, but still not working.
I managed to get the file to save as i want it. Now i added the 800x480 into the resolution lines.... but still no 800x480 in the display manager. Did i edit the file correctly?
