If you try to start the X server with an argument longer than 128 characters it tells you to mail "&&&&&@X.org" - checking Xserver/os/utils.c we see: #define ARGMSG \ "\nIf the arguments used are valid, and have been rejected incorrectly\n" \ "please send details of the arguments and why they are valid to\n" \ "&&&&&@X.org. In the meantime, you can start the Xserver as\n" \ "the \"super user\" (root).\n" #define ENVMSG \ "\nIf the environment is valid, and have been rejected incorrectly\n" \ "please send details of the environment and why it is valid to\n" \ "&&&&&@X.org. In the meantime, you can start the Xserver as\n" \ "the \"super user\" (root).\n" Perhaps these should be BuilderEmailAddr or some sort of VenderSupportContact define, with a default of xorg@freedesktop.org or something like that?
I agree. Personally, I like VendorSupportContact better than BuilderEmailAddr. It would be nice to create a separate "vendor.cf" file where all of the vendor specific configuration should go (e.g., release string, support contact, etc.). Let's bring this up on the next release wranglers' call to find out what the correct default should be.
This change has been made and checked in. Closing. The contact address is used in the following order: 1. VendorSupportAddress 2. BuilderEMailAddr 3. "xorg@freedesktop.org" That is, if the first one is not defined, then use the second and so on.
