This is do-able with one reservation. I think we should fix Xautoconfig if it is not working right. I would say that 99% of the time Xautoconfig defaults work fine. The only thing would be to probably add a --depth option to Xautoconfig so you that a newbie can have a high colour default without having to use a text editor. Since 2.4 will have saner defaults for most machines and optimal defaults for portables, this may be a better solution. On a side note, I am trying to push some of the nice defaults in 2.4 aty128fb back to 2.2 so that ibook, imac, pismo, tibook users get a correct default (eg [EMAIL PROTECTED] for pismo). I am mostly done except for the tibook. So, a user using this kernel marely needs to boot (with no video= args) and run Xautoconfig and voila. The only other thing that would be nice is to have a --depth option for Xautoconfig since the console defaults to 8bpp. -jeramy b smith PS: If you Mlan want to take ownership of a XF86Config bank and need the web space just let me know. Getting people to submit working XF86COnfig's for machines that won't work any other way may be a good way to spot holes in existing config utilities. > With Apple's 'standardized' hardware, it wouldn't be complicated to put > up copies that support the default machine config (like iMac, iBook and > Powerbooks with integrated monitors, and also desktop machines with a > few stabdard resolutions). > > Could help newbies quite a bit, I guess....
