Title: No xsetup with Xorg installed
Post by: cdr on April 27, 2011, 12:25:00 PM

It has been 2 years since the last message on xsetup so this is probably a new thread.

I have found that xsetup will not run if Xorg is in the tce/optional directory.
If I move it out of there, reboot, run the script, put it back and reboot the settings will hold. Is this a known behavior? have others run into this? Am I missing something?

TIA

I have experienced the same thing.

I would think it more likely that the problem is that Xorg-7.5.tcz is in onboot.lst, not that it is in tce/optional.
Look in /etc/X11.  Copy xorg.conf.vesa to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add etc/X11/xorg.conf to /opt/.filetool.lst.

When I experienced this, some time ago. Xorg was a dependency of another application. I can't remember which one.

Does anyone know of a way to run Xvesa setup, without removing Xorg.

One can run with boot codes 'base norestore', run xsetup and then save ~/.xsession to persistent storage.

Personally, I have different .xsession files stored with different names, i.e. .xsession.Xvesabase, .xsession.Xvesaextension, .xsession.Xorg.
Thus, I could just copy the one which is adequate to current X server to .xsession when required.
One could proceed similarly when using the same backup on multiple predefined machines with different .xsession files for different machines (e.g. different resolution).
