Description
We launched xorgcfg on onnv_b15. After doing suitably configuration using graphic mode, press "Quit" in "xorgcfg" window, it will appear "quit" window and tell user to write xorg.conf to the default directory. The default directory is /etc/X11. We met differe situation using different hardware configration as follow:

1)Hardware: Metropolis, NVfx3000 video card, Sun X7149A 22'' CRT
User can see default setting is /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the input box. User also can input new setting, but user must obey input pattern, that is "<saving directory> <configuration filename>", for example /var/tmp/xorg.conf. If user only input a valid directory such as "/var/tmp", the tool will pop out the "error" windowas "Failed to write configuration"

2)Hardware: Metropolis, NVfx500 video card, Sun X7149A 22'' CRT
User cannot see any information in the input box. If user does not do any change, the xorg.conf will be writed to /etc/X11/ correctly. If user need to change the saving directory, because user cannot see the input information, whatever we had tried as input are not accepted by xorgcfg, it always pop out the "error" window as "Failed to write configuration"
