Hi, I packaged xfree86-driver-synaptics (Touchpad driver for xfree86, it's basically ready, will upload in a couple of days) and I have one question here: is there some magic/modularization/cooperation you can think of to provide some autoconfiguration also for addons/external plugins? (I'm also waiting for ideas to pop up of my head but I'd need to go deeper in xfree debconf scripts). synaptics_drv.o basically needs to be loaded in the "Module" section and needs a bunch of of options in the "InputDevice" section (there are reasonable defaults) Detecting it is just a matter of grepping /proc/bus/input/devices any idea? -- mattia :wq!
