I've been struggling to understand why, after reboot, the HP laptop I've
been testing reverts to the wrong monitor settings.
The relevant logic is:
# Revert xorg.conf if kudzu has changed it.
if find /etc/X11/xorg.conf -cmin -1 > /dev/null \
&& test -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup ; then
echo "xorg.conf has changed; saving new version
as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.kudzunew"
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.kudzunew
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
fi
What it's supposed to do is see if kudzu change xorg.conf, and if so,
move it aside.
Instead, it detects a manual change of xorg.conf, and dutifully undoes
the manual setup THINKING that kudzu did it.
