Re: Re: customize xorg.conf on an Xlivecd

Thanks for the reply, it really helps. I'll try to modify my conf to reflect your advise.

Best Regards,

Ouch.  That's a bit... ugly.

...and why not use livecd/root_overlay in your livecd-stage2 instead?

Again with the livecd/root_overlay...  ;]

Also, if you've got some changes that you think would benefit others,
feel free to file a bug against mkxf86config and I'll make the changes.

Cool.  I would do this in a shell script and call the script from
livecd/fsscript in livecd-stage2, rather than having a "manual" process
outside of catalyst.

#!/bin/bash
grep -v speedo /etc/X11/xorg.conf.in > /etc/xorg.conf.in

Remember that the xorg.conf is generated from xorg.conf.in by
mkxf86config.sh

Remember that you can make catalyst do pretty much anything from within
the confines of catalyst itself.  You should never really need to make
any manual edits of the livecd-stage1 temporary directory.
