If we are not backing up logfiles, remove the old logfile before trying to write a new logfile, as otherwise the operation may fail if the previous logfile was created by a different user. This change is useful when: - The DDX doesn't use the logfile backup mechanism (i.e. not Xorg) - The DDX is run by a non-root user, and then by a different non-root user - The logfile directory doesn't have the restricted-deletion flag set Signed-off-by: Jon TURNEY <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk> Acked-by: Yaakov Selkowitz <yselkowitz@users.sourceforge.net> Reviewed-by: Yaakov Selkowitz <yselkowitz@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
