Have a xorg start problem with a frakenrig I'm working on. It's got an onboard Nvidia 6100 that's trying to load xorg-nvidia-legacy.conf, even though its not enabled nor shows up in lspci, and I have an AMD hd7570 installed. Any way to fix this without compileing my own librelec build? PS also happens in official and Escalade builds

Same thing happens in official, remix reborn and Escalade.

what i do not need to know:

about anything in the /storage/.config unless i can use it to delete something in /etc/x11/ before xorg starts

The problem is I need to REMOVE content. The file /etc/x11/xorg-nvidia-legacy.conf attempts to load even though there is a pcie graphics card installed (it tries to load that conf as well, one fails and Kodi doesn't show up)

i need to extract an recreate the SYSTEM squashfs file. how do i go about doing this

what i do not need to know:
about anything in the /storage/.config unless i can use it to delete something in /etc/x11/ before xorg starts
anything about the autorun.sh script unless i can use it to delete something in /etc/x11/ before xorg starts

what i do need to know:
what compression method the system squashfs file uses
if it is even indeed squashfs
linux - What was the SquashFS compression method? - Super User ive tried this and it says 6, which is not on thelist and linux mints unsquashfs cant detect the compression method
there is a xorg conflict i need to resolve in the genericx86_64 image, specifically i need to delete xorg-nvidia-legacy.conf if i remember correctly. as it causes xorg not to load and im using an amd card.

escalade , a moment of your time?

i was able to modify emulator-frontend.conf so i can pass arguments to emulator-frontend.sh and open the frontend i want (eg. "emulator-frontend.sh ra" for retroarch "es" for emulationstation) like so:

# Default emulator frontend


FRONTEND="/usr/bin/emulationstation.start"
# FRONTEND="/usr/bin/retroarch.start"

# usage
# emulator-frontend.sh arg
# "arg" can be e,es,E,ES,emulationstation,EmulationStation or r,ra,R,RA,retroarch,RetroArch

case "$1" in

    [eE] | [eE][sS] | [eE][mulation][sS][tation] )

            FRONTEND="/usr/bin/emulationstation.start"
            ;;

    [rR] | [rR][aA] | [rR][etro][aA][rch] )
            FRONTEND="/usr/bin/retroarch.start"
            ;;
esac

however /usr/bin/emulator-frontend.py is not set up to pass commandline args to /usr/bin/emulator-frontend.sh
my goal here was to create buttons in Aeon Nox for each frontend so i can set up controllers that dont autoconfgig, etc without another computer (im using generic not arm) and im unable to do so without using emulator-frontend.py, i cant launch systemd-run _script_ in a button apparantly, so as a workaround i copied e-f.py to .storage and modified it like so:

#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess, sys


subprocess.call(["systemd-run", "/usr/bin/emulator-frontend.sh"] + sys.argv[1:])

i was just wondering if in your next build and/or in the 9.0 beta builds you could make a simple change to emulator-frontend.py to pass at least one argument to emulator-frontend.sh as it allows for argument parsing in emulator-frontend.conf. if you know of a more elagant way than my modification to the python script i encorage you to use that instead. i am not proud of how im handling arguments

ok now im proud
