Description gaojinxuan 2006-11-08 09:57:26 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

After I altered the Xorg.conf or use sax2, some of the modification can not take effect immediatly, therefore, I have to restart the KDE. This is quit complicated. For example, if I modify the twinview setting, I have to restart the KDE, the setting can not go into effect immediatly.

so? That's the way X works, KDE can't change it

Hey, couldn't kdm detect if xorg.conf has been modified and be configurable to automatically restart X for you when you log out?  Related [K]Ubuntu bug:

Comment 3 Felix Miata 2007-02-18 14:11:05 UTC 
SUSE's kdm has been smart enough for as long as I've been using it to check for changed X config file on logout and restart kdm if file was changed. Why can't that be standard for KDE's base version?
