xorg.conf on diskless MD reverts to original
« on: September 22, 2007, 02:24:14 pm »
Im trying to edit the xorg.conf file on my diskless MD but the changes I have made keeps reverting to the original. Im trying to change from vesa to nVidia....

Is there some other file that I should be editing instead?

There is a script that rewrites the settings if it detects a change. I haven't found it or how to defeat it but I have managed to change the settings andget them to stick. But I'm not sure what I did that actually did it.

Either editing after killing x (from a terminal run init 3 or you can run /usr/pluto/bin/Stop_X.sh) or ssh in from a remote terminal using Putty (log into the core,  sudo su, ssh (MD's IP address) and edit the xorg.conf. But I'm not sure which.

Check out this page:

Actually, if you protect the file LMCE will keep duplicating it and appending a number until you have thousands!

Try this instead (from the wiki):

Add a line containing exit to the top of the /usr/pluto/bin/Xconfigure.sh file.
