Hi everybody,
many changes have been made in the new 12.1 release and there are some things which I now have to lear again.
Maybe somebody knows some answers to some of my questions
How does xorg now work
there is no xorg.conf anymore
there is a dir xorg.conf.d, but all files are commented out
How is xorg configured and where can I see this config?
I found, sax3 as a new konfig tool in the release notes
Calling sax3 I just get an empty window, calling sax3 from console I get an empty window to and “segmentation fault”
access to wlan requires root pwd. How can I grant a user permanent access to wlan without root pwd

That started in 11.2 or 11.3. It is not new, certainly.

It is a new unfinished tool.

I think there is a bugzilla on it and long discussions, here and in the
mail list.

This one is fixed in a patch - if your system is up to date the current user
can make a wlan connection.
@robin_listas:
I’d 11.2 and 11.3 and in both versions there was a xorg.conf by default.
Anyway: Question was: How does xorg now get its configuration and where can I see the current used conf
@GeoBaltz
thx, made an update and the problem 3 seems to be gone.
There are configuration files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
These are generally empty of configuration settings because X now queries the monitor via DDC to determine parameters.
However you can use these files to override the auto setting, or you can create and use the legacy /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you are familiar with that.
Unfortunately, most distros no longer provide tools to configure X, so you will have to do it by hand.
I have the same issue and have tried editing the 50-monitor.conf and other files but only manage to crash X! Can anybody point me to the documentation showing how Suse has implemented these files and what should be in them?
Sax3 also gives me a blank window. I don’t really buy the “it’s in development” comment as it’s in the official distro and it doesn’t mention it being a beta version.
Anyway, if you could point me towards the Suse docs which explain the files in xorg.conf.d that would be great.
