Overwrites xorg.conf without warning or backup #66

Closed bno1 closed 2 years ago

bno1 commented 2 years ago

I used this project and IT OVERWROTE MY xorg.conf WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT MAKING ANY BACKUP. WHY???? People sometimes write their own config files, you know, you can't just banish my configs into OBLIVION like this. The README doesn't mention this at all...

Please:

  1. EXPLICITLY STATE in the README which files are going to be created or modified
  2. WARN the user about the files that are going to be replaced when running the script
  3. MAKE backups of modified files

And my /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf too...

That's strange. I don't believe that xorg.conf is required to run the program.

Hello there,

@bno1 I apologize for not stating the files that get overwritten by EnvyControl when switching modes.

As of now I'm currently busy with other projects so the simplest solution I can do by my own is adding a warning on the README.
