Re: How to rerun Xorg configuration?

pyxf86config is a python 2 wrapper for libxf86config, which is an X server
config file access library that is shipped with X.org X11, and also XFree86.

It can be used to read, modify and write X server config files (xorg.conf,
XF86Config) from python.

So, how does one rerun the Xorg configuration? I tried

python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xf86config.py

but this does nothing.

Can anyone tell me how to rerun a full Xorg configuration process?

Take a look in man Xorg at -configure

Xorg -configure

as root user will dump the new file in /root/xorg.conf
