Yeah, one possibility is that you have an existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory which will cause the X server to skip everything in $(prefix)/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and thus miss the 10-evdev.conf file. BTW, the first thing I did with 1.8.0 was: -xorgconfddir = $(prefix)/etc/X11/$(XF86CONFIGDIR) +xorgconfddir = $(sysconfdir)/X11/$(XF86CONFIGDIR) in config/Makefile.am Best regards, Stefan Public Key available -- Stefan Dirsch (Res.

For 8xx (845G/855GM/865G) you need to apply the backported overlay patches on top of 2.6.32 for Xvideo support, since there is no textured video available on these platforms AFAIK. Not sure how to enable overlay support on 8xx (default?) or switch from textured video to overlay for the other platforms though. Best regards, Stefan Public Key available -- Stefan Dirsch (Res.

You are basically saying the driver loading priority of Xorg is hardcoded and if you want to change it, recompile Xserver. I've already read that discussions in the past: I DON'T want Xorg to default ship with nvidia set at higher priority and I perfectly agree with reverting that commit. I just want to learn how to configure my system to accomplish what I've asked. There are 2 considerations: 1) You've pointed me the driver loading priority is hardcoded in Xorg so can't be changed by normal users. Maybe HAL fdi policies files can be used to accomodate my task? 2) If there's no configurable option to solve this, this would de definitively a lacking feature: Xorg can't prefer one driver instead of another in a xorg.conf less configuration. As I've explained, this would be very useful in my setup where basically I continue to swap video card depending the fact I'm running native or virtualized. If you want to configure Xorg, why not use xorg.conf? What he wants to have is a config file (system) for the driver priority system. We don't have this. It's hardcoded. Actually it would make sense to have this configurable. Then, when updating a driver with new chip support, you could update this config file (system) and the Xserver would chose the right driver. No xorg.conf required. Best regards, Stefan Public Key available -- Stefan Dirsch (Res. Dev.)

This is almost certainly the server that will go into Xorg 7.4. The module set for same is available here: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/preview-X11R7.4/src/ If you see anything missing that should be present, or present that should be absent, yell very loudly, right now. Otherwise that'll go gold in a day or two. --- These message followed some comments, which tarballs still need an update (which he fixed almost immediately). Then silence - only interrupted by an amusing discussion about now-ish/no-wish release of X.Org 7.4 (7.5 release plans). Which issues are still open?
