Restart X with not default xorg.conf

#1 Post by T_B »

I've got 2 xorg.conf's I use with Puppy. I need to exit X and start X again with the other xorg.conf.
I'd like to do that automaticly with a script.

something like this?

#!/bin/sh
cp /etc/X11/xorg1.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf
exec restartwm

Didn't expect a script copying the xorg.conf, but I guess this should work.
Thanks.

I think Xorg is built to always use xorg.conf, so there's no other option than to copy them around...

It's possible to startx with another file than xorg.conf
Something like startx -- :1 /etc/X11/xorg2.conf, but the way GuestToo did it works like a charm.
