I would imagine that unless it's hard coded into X-windows that you could fine the script that actually starts X-windows and change the name of the config file it looks like. Or maybe move over xorg.conf and create a symlink back to XF86Config?

Just a thought...

I run KDE by default on my new Slack setup. I wanted to try the new XFCE and changed xinitrc to select XFCE. As soon as I started X, the monitor wouldn't sync -- which meant some change in the config file.

The error logs didn't help. But I noticed that X-windows stopped using XF86Config and began using xorg.conf. I discovered this when several edits of XF86Config didn't have any effect whatsoever. I edited xorg.conf and got an immediate reaction.

I would prefer that X-windows use my good XF86Config rather than xorg.conf. Does any one know how to force X-windows to use one config or the other?
