-grml-x uses hwinfo for getting hardware related information. It creates the X config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf for X.org or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for XFree86
-(needs root permissions therefore). If a X config file is present already, grml-x won't touch the file unless the '-force' option or another option which modifies
-content of the X config file is specified, the old config file gets backed up via adding the extension .old.
-
-Afterwards the 'exec' command in ~/.xinitrc gets adjusted to start the provided window manager and then startx is executed. If ~/.xinitrc does not exist a simple
-default one will be created. Notice that you do not have to use grml-x to start X server if you already have a working X config file. Adjust ~/.xinitrc to your
-needs and then run startx to start X server.
+grml-x depends on the X server to configure itself. It will generate a very
+minimal xorg.conf, or, at your option, write some common options to it.
+If an xorg.conf file already exists, grml-x won't touch the file unless the
+'--force' option is specified.
+
+If you specify a window manager, the x-window-manager alias will be updated.

+*******************************************************************************
+Important! Please do **not** run X or grml-x with root permissions! When used in grml
+live-cd mode running grml-x works as normal user as well (thanks to sudo). Just
+switch to an appropriate console where user grml is logged in (for example on
+tty5 via pressing Alt-F5).
+If you use grml-x on systems other than grml in live mode you can invoke
+it as user root but please use the '--nostart' option to avoid startup
+X server. This allows you to generate a xorg.conf file on harddisk systems
+as well as on distributions other than grml/Debian.

+
+[NOTE]
+Notice that you do not have to use grml-x to start X server if you already have
+a working X config file (usually the case on harddisk installations). Just
+adjust $HOME/.xinitrc to your needs (most common is adjusting the exec line for
+choosing the according windowmanager) and then run startx to start X server.
