Hello,
Basically of what I have seen in the postinst script there are two
problems: 1) the shared/default-x-server is never set 2) if discover
is installed or not xserver-xorg/config/device/driver isn't set either.
Both values are mandatory for the dexconf script to work.
I have added an auto_answer for the shared/default-x-server in the
condition that says “$OWNERS has only one value; shared/default-x-server
will not be asked”, with a fallback that askes for the input.
Next I trampled over another bug concerning the device driver. I did
the same stuff as for the default-x-server. I also added a default
fallback driver to “vesa” in case discover isn't installed.
The patch is not perfect, but it Just works<TM> :p
Best Regards,
Mike
