Hi,
In merging en_US version in fr_FR I had a doubt, so I tested it:
gothic:/home/marc% su -m
Password:
gothic:/home/marc# XFree86 -configure
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 January 2002
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6 i386 [ELF]
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Thu Aug 29 16:37:07 2002
List of video drivers:
atimisc
r128
radeon
mga
glint
nv
tga
s3
s3virge
sis
rendition
neomagic
i740
tdfx
savage
cirrus
vmware
tseng
trident
chips
apm
fbdev
i128
ati
i810
ark
cyrix
siliconmotion
vesa
vga
(++) Using config file: "/home/marc/XF86Config.new"
XFree86 detected your mouse at device /dev/sysmouse.
Please check your config if the mouse is still not
operational, as by default XFree86 tries to autodetect
the protocol.
Your XF86Config file is /home/marc/XF86Config.new
To test the server, run 'XFree86 -xf86config /home/marc/XF86Config.new'
And of course when I use 'su' instead of 'su -m' I've got:
Your XF86Config file is /root/XF86Config.new
To test the server, run 'XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new'
So in fact the file will be placed in $HOME and not "always" in /root.
Maybe that should be corrected.
Marc
