[Originally reported to Sun as Solaris bug id #5070654] If one enters a bad file name to save the data that's been painfully entered into the tool, it doesn't give you a chance to recover. It simply exits. The result is that one is left with the pain of re-entering all the data again. The same happens if the wrong amount of video memory is entered.
Created attachment 1264 [details] [review] Patch to xorgconfig.c Fix developed by Derek Wang at Sun: The following will be fixed: 1. xorgconfig exit if users input invalid amount of video memory. 2. xorgconfig exit if users input bad file name. The fix will be that xorgconfig never exit only because users input some wrong number or bad file name, users are given unlimited chances to try the right number or file name until users choose giving up.
Fix committed to Xorg cvs head: 2004-10-05 Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@sun.com> * xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf86config/xorgconfig.c: Make xorgconfig ask again instead of giving up and throwing away all your answers when you give a bad file name or bad amount of video RAM.
