Bug#404038: xserver-xorg-core: non-modular configuration scheme

2006-12-21 Thread Marc Haber
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1.1.1-12
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

for ksynaptics, I need to enter SHMConfig on into the touch pad
section of xorg.conf. When I do this, I lose all debian automatisms
since the xorg maintainer scripts notice that the file was manually
changed.

Please provide a means to do such local modifications (like an overlay
or an include file) without losing Debian magic.

Greetings
Marc

It's most likely that we'll be abandoning the debconfage all together over
the next development cycle. Upstream development is heading towards dynamic
reconfiguration for everything we really care about, and all the rest can
simply be set to reasonable defaults in the server so we don't even need an
xorg.conf under normal circumstances. That'll make the overlay unnecessary,
but spirit of the idea is the same. Thanks for your report!
