Package: xserver-xorg
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I know it's too late for Beryl to make it into etch, but can we at least ship
an xorg.conf that is frendly to Beryl ? With this patch, only installing
the beryl packages will be enough to get it working with no further setup
(provided that OpenGL is working fine).
Also note that having these extra lines in your xorg.conf is harmless for
non-Beryl users (at least it didn't produce any new warnings or errors in
/var/log/Xorg.log for me), so I propose to add them unconditionaly.
Please, can this make it into etch? This kind of eye-candy is _awesome_
to attract new users.
