Double bummer. > I was thinking about xfree86-driver-synaptics, or > xfree86-driver-input-synaptics, but the last one is too unnecessarily > longwinded. (I was going to package this as an XSF project, post-exams). I thought about the latter as well. It's not too long-winded if we expect having input and video modules with identical names. Is the XFree86 driver namespace subdivided in practice (i.e., in a name-resolution sense), or merely cosmetically via directory layout? -- G.
