no more 'X -configure' in newer releases?
Hello to the forum,
maybe I'm too stupid but as I remember releases ago there existed a '-configue' option in Xorg. I realised it when I had to change my graphic card (Win/OpenBSD dual boot system). X doesn't create automatically a xorg.conf anymore when starting... Is there still a posibility to generate a dummy xorg.conf skeleton file in 6.0? Or do I have to create a new one manually from scratch? regards Andre Ruppert |

Since few years X.Org is smart enough to work correctly without any xorg.conf file, at least for most setups.

Unfortunately that doesn't include some older graphics adapters. Some (from today's standpoint probably considered ancient) cards that were supported by XFree86 never made it into X.Org and some that did aren't auto detected. But cases like that are probably quite rare nowadays.

I had several graphic cards in the past which didn't work.
Last: an older Geforce gt630... max. resolution 1024*768. Higher resolutions in cause X to prevent the startup. Regards Andre |

OpenBSD Developers don't like Nvidia's GPUs, because of the lack of publicly released documentation about them.
Actually, Linus Torvalds also doesn't like Nvidia, but some people inside Linux community write drivers for Nvidia GPUs so they have some sort of support. OpenBSD doesn't.
