Bug#616010: Is this normal behaviour for dexconf ?

[bergerp <bergerp@laposte.net>]

Hello,

Reading the previous messages, I am not sure I understand why this bug 
report should be closed. Is it normal that there is no way to generate 
xorg.conf for Xserver versions >= 1.7.4 ? I thought the purpose of 
dexconf was precisely to generate the xorg.conf for information or 
customization purposes in case the auto detection does not yield 
satisfactory results. Is there any other way the user can have access to 
or modify parameters such as the video driver ?

Maybe I get this wrong and I should proceed in some other way to get 
this information, but the silent dexconf failure does not seem very 
clean anyway, especially if you consider that the code returned by 
dexconf when this failure happens is 10 whereas the manpage indicates 
that 0 and 1 are the two only possible exit codes (see below) :

root@pierre:~# dexconf --output=xorg.test
root@pierre:~# echo $?
10

Thanks !

Pierre
