Is there any chance to set the XF86Config file in such a way, that when I log in as a different user, a different XF86Config file is used?
Try setting the environment variable XF86CONFIG and start X with startx when the user is logged in
As mentioned on "man XF86Config" XFree86 search the following places for the configuration file (I have not tried this)
/etc/X11/<cmdline> /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/<cmdline> /etc/X11/$XF86CONFIG /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/$XF86CONFIG /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/XF86Config /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config.<hostname> /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.<hostname> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config-4 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
Wouldn't it be possible to just switch the file with a bash-script in the login procedure of each user?
You don't really want to do that, especially if (as another poster described) more than one person might be logged on at once (on different virtual terminals).
Create per-user files in /etc/X11 and use the -xf8gconfig flag to select which one to use when you start X.
