[yocto] Replacing xorg.conf in my custom layer.

[Daniel Toussaint]

I have my own custom layer on top of Yocto. My layer provides a custom
machine , custom image and a couple of applications that go into it.
My problem : Nomatter what I do, I can't get my own custom xorg.conf
into the image - everytime I rebuild, I end up with the one from the
Yocto recipe.


I have created a new recipe in my layer :

recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config_0.1.bbappend :

THISDIR := "${@os.path.dirname(bb.data.getVar('FILE', d, True))}"
FILESPATH =. "${@base_set_filespath(["${THISDIR}/${PN}"], d)}:"

Then in that recipe's  directory a new directory called
"xserver-xf86", and in turn a subdirectory named after my machine
name. That directory contains my xorg.conf

I have copied the above information from other Yocto recipies that
seem to work.....hopefully someone can point out my mistake or
something that I am missing.

Thanks a lot.

(Below some extra info that might be helpful in finding the problem)
