All of them
I'm just frustrated that Debian won't create a new config file, and I would rather use the newer XF86Config-4 than the XF86Config file, since someday that won't be used anymore.
>>At the end of the dpkg reconfigure, I believe it shows the default to where it is going to write the config file. What does that say and can you just change it to read ...config-4 instead of XF86Config???>>
It doesn't say where it's going to write to, it doesn't even say if it fails to write the file at all.
>>if you're using X version >=4 (you definitely are..) the configuration-file is called XF86Config-4. earlier versions of the xserver named it just XF86Config.
see "man XF86Config-4" for syntax/options of that file & "man nv" for infos 'bout nvidia's driver-options in this file.>>
I already knew this (did you read what I posted?)
Finally, richenbacharus: I already did use xf86config to generate the old 3.x XF86Config file. XFree86 4.x uses the old file if you don't have XF86Config-4, so I moved that out of the way. I don't think renaming the 3.x version file to the 4.x version would work very well though. Isn't the reason they gave them different names because the syntax changed significantly?
