Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 2:1.7.7-13 Severity: wishlist Hi,
as this was discussed on the mailing list before, see e.g. [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2011/08/msg00157.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2011/08/msg00364.html there is need for an override directory that is prepended to the module search path. In [1] I describe my analysis of the current search path system and in [2] Julien says I'd prefer an explicit override directory over abusing 'linux'. An override directory could be used so that vendor implementations of a module (e.g. libglx.so) can be installed installed in the override directory and will be found before the native xorg module without having to use dpkg-divert on the original module. Such a solution would simplify using update-alternatives to enable/disable the vendor implementation without installing/removing packages. For the time being, /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/ could be abused for that purpose. Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
