I've upgraded a mdk 8.1 to a 8.2 and when I change my video card, kudzu
does nothing (tried a lot of video cards), and X11 is left unconfigured.

I've downloaded the mdk sources of kudzu and I found the bug:

- kudzu has been patched (by mdk) to run XFdrake instead of Xconfiguration,
- BUT, there is still a check to test if Xconfigurator is installed (in
hwconf.c):



                  if (!stat("/usr/X11R6/bin/Xconfigurator", &tmpstat) &&
                      !stat("/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86", &tmpstat))
                          return 1;
                  else
                          return 0;


To fix the problem, and have XFdrake configure the card:
- 'touch /usr/X11R6/bin/Xconfigurator'
- or fix hwconf.c (Xconfigurator -> XFdrake).
