* The following configuration files use a new, MD5-checksum-based method of management: - /etc/X11/X - /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 - /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
This new method attempts to detect changes to these files, and if they are modified by the user, the files will be ignored by the packaging system henceforth. The debconf region markers (e.g. "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION") formerly used in Xwrapper.config and XF86Config-4 are no longer used, are disregarded if present, and will not be newly written.
sodele, jetzt nochmal für die, die nicht lesen können: Debian schreibt die XF86Config-4 nur dann nicht neu, wenn manuell dran rumgefummelt wurde (und damit die MD5-Summe nicht mehr stimmt). Und genau dafür bietet das ursprüngliche Posting 'ne Lösung. Und da Knoppix auch nur ein Debian ist, wird das dort genau so sein. Also können die Knoppix-ist-besser-Trolle kleinlaut den Schw*nz einziehen und lesen lernen gehen....
