Wrong path for xorg - thing

(from journalctl)
Failed to open protocol names file lib/xorg/protocol.txt
is because:

the correct path is: /lib/xorg/protocol.txt
.
Where to correct this???

You can see there’s a “/” before “lib”. Come back after you try with the second path.

If my answer isn’t what you want, then add more details to the question.

My system uses a wrong path - and I would like to correct it.
system thinks: lib/xorg/protocol.txt
correct path would be:
/lib/xorg/protocol.txt

When or where did you first get this error?

It is a known bug. There is a fix. But no xorg-server release with this fix yet. Probably with xorg-server 1.21in the future.

I don’t know. It is a one line patch, someone needs to build xorg-server with this patch.
