Hi,
I have a script which runs xinit to launch up a second xserver (for use
with beryl, kde, and Gimp, since Gimp has issues with my normal set up):
xinit .xsession.beryl -- /usr/bin/X :1 -xf86config xorg.conf.beryl
The xorg.conf.beryl is stored in /etc/X11 (xinit won't let me store it
anywhere else) with the same permissions and ownership as my normal
xorg.conf. I used to use -config rather than -xf86config but a while ago
that stopped working, and now I'm getting the same error with
- -xf86config:
Fatal server error:
Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.1.log" to
"/var/log/Xorg.1.log.old"
Is there any way I can get this to work again?
Thanks,
Nick Murdoch
