Subject: [xf86cfg] confusing error message
X-Reportbug-Version: 1.18
X-Mailer: reportbug 1.18
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 20:23:41 +0200
Sender: imke.infodrom.ffis.de!torsten@imke.infodrom.north.de
Delivered-To: maintonly@bugs.debian.org
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.0.3-4
Severity: minor
The error message
Cannot to open config file.
if there is no XF86Config File, is confusing. It would be better to output
something like
Cannot open XF86Config, not found in ... (list of search places)
