[edit] mkxf86config
mkxf86config.sh is a script used by knoppix to automatically generate an X config file. The current versions create Xorg files. In order to get this script working you must first emerge the script
| Code: Code |
###Emerge the package### emerge mkxf86config ###Generate the config file### mkxf86config |
If you get a "Unsupported" error then you may not have run hwsetup. In order to generate the config file a description of your systems hardware must be created. This is done using the hwsetup tool which creates the descriptions in /etc/sysconfig/. hwsetup is a dependency of mkxf86config and will have been installed in the previous emerge command.
| Code: Code |
###The -p option prints a nice progress bar to the screen :)### hwsetup -p ###Re-run the mkxf86config script### mkxf86config |
And you should have a fully working Xorg configuration script now!
[edit] Live CD
If you are using this on a live cd of your own then I recommend adding "hwsetup -p" into the mkxf86 startup script in /etc/init.d/. Add it just before the mkxf86config.sh command in there. Dont forget to add the script to the default runlevel!
