I'm guessing "non-trivial" is used here in the "I don't like this code so I don't want to touch it" sense. Which, fair enough I guess, but I really don't think it's that difficult to add. Like, pretty sure one conditional at the bottom of doPlatformProbe would be about all you need. Also: "we advise users not to use xorg.conf" is a bad meme, can we please stop. It is still the config file. If you need it, you need it. > However some users still want to use Xorg -configure to generate a > template config file, this commit implements a minimal fix to make > things work again for PCI devices by skipping the platform > probe method when xf86DoConfigure is set. This means you'll fail to generate a config file under Hyper-V, where the fbdev device is platform not pci. - ajax _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
