Hi Jasper, I would not call that broken, the wrapper is as thin as possible because any extra code results in possible extra security issues, as such I really do not want the wrapper to get into parsing the cmdline and then deciding that some cmdline options are ok to pass through for non console users. One can always do: /usr/libexec/Xorg -version On systems with the wrapper to get the version when not on the console. Regards, Hans |
