OK. I agree that documenting this workaround should be avoided if it is going to be temporary. It would just add to the confusion. I didn't realize that using udev for storing config was just a stopgap. That fact should probably go into the README. > (See > http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-configuration-world-order.html for > a description of the way things are going) Looks good! I've always fealt that this kind of configuration belonged to the X server and had little to do with hal/udev. Adding the necessary glue to allow a mix of auto-device discovery and xorg.conf snippets sounds just like it was taken from my wishlist :-) Bjørn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
