Cyril> I'm not sure we want to maintain an xorg.conf generator just for Cyril> some corner cases. Sorry, but your somewhat amused tone in replying to this report is out of place. Yes, Xorg works without configuration - for some value of "works". On pretty much any laptop, one needs to at least configure the synaptics touchpad. The defaults for that are unusable (no tapping, hence no way to middle-click, very hard to double-click if you're not dexterous). The desktops have their GUI tools to configure that, but guess what? None of the desktops goes beyond the most trivial settings, in the case of Gnome I think it's just left-handed vs right-handed and that's it. So, still unusable without manual configuration. And what if I don't use a desktop? And I'm leaving out the keyboard which has similar issues, and also similar nonsolutions. Go ahead and remove dexconf, better no tool than a totally broken one, but please consider adding a flexible, transparent and desktop-independent tool to configure the above.
