Bug Description
when running `sudo nvidia-glx-config enable` and the process fails to update the
XF86Config-4 file, it then suggests to run a command which will not work.
--snip--
$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
Password:
Error: your XFree86 configuration has been altered.
This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following
command:
sudo md5sum /etc/X11/
otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/
from nv to nvidia.
--snip--
The command `sudo md5sum /etc/X11/
/var/lib/
works. See below:
--snip--
$ sudo md5sum /etc/X11/
bash: /var/lib/
--snip--
To correct this problem the actual suggested command should be `md5sum
/etc/X11/
that will work.
--snip--
$ md5sum /etc/X11/

It should be a quick one minute fix. In the future, can I update simple things
like this myself in the source tree? If you have time, shoot me a quick email
that will help me do just that so that in the future I don't need to rely on
bugzilla :-)
Will fix in the next revision of l-r-m.
