Package: xserver-common

When booting live CDs and thin clients, there is a need to
(re)configure X automatically at boot time. To make this easier and
more convenient with the normal X packages, it would be nice if an
init.d script was provided to do call dexconf at boot time to generate
a new configuration. Here is a draft init.d script based on the
script included in xdebconfigurator and code fetched from the LTSP
package in Ubuntu.
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/xserver-common

# chkconfig: 2345 52 78
# description: Genererate X configuration at boot time

do_start() {
if [ true = "$ENABLE_AT_BOOT" ] ; then
if [ -z "$xserver_package" ]; then
# set default xserver
if [ -d /usr/share/doc/xserver-org/ ]; then
xserver_package="xserver-xorg"
elif [ -d /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/ ]; then
