Finally someone else who has/had the same problem. I always seem to find
the corner cases and when I report them noone can replicate them.
I tried root and a non-root user and when a xorg.conf was in /root or $HOME
it was used instead of the xorg.conf in /etc/X11. I have an updated as of
Sept 9th rawhide install. There is no XORGCONFIG environment varible. I
start x using startx. I would be happy to help in tracking this issue down
if anyone is interested in fixing it.
Uh... guys, Mike Harris pointed out that as root, this is the expected
behaviour. man xorg.conf shows that $HOME/xorg.conf is used in
preference to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
It doesn't cover why this might happen when starting as a normal user
although /usr/bin/Xorg is setuid root which might play into this.
