I don't know if you guys are interested in any of this for Debian, but I wanted to list what we're looking at doing feature-wise for Ubuntu, in case you'd like to collaborate or comment on any of them.
xorg-input-hotplug ------------------ We shipped Hardy without input-hotplug turned on. This task is to just switch it on and work to make it stable. We expect to make the switch around the end of the month. I expect we'll be following your lead and collaborating quite a bit. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xorg-input-hotplug xorg-ctrl-alt-backspace ----------------------- We've had bunches of requests for users to turn off this shortcut key, however it's quite useful to developers. A compromise has been to require holding it down for a short period of time (and/or hitting in quick succession). We're tentatively planning on trying this out, although I'm not 100% how to best implement it. I assume this wouldn't be of interest for Debian; let me know otherwise. xorg-options-editor ------------------- In Hardy we implemented an early version of the new xrandr-enabled Screen Resolution tool. While it was generally well received, it lacks a lot of advanced functionality. One of our community members is creating a simple python GUI applet for turning on driver and server options, to launch from an "Advanced..." button on the Screen Resolution tool. Probably easiest to explain through a screenshot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/OptionsEditor?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=xorgconfig-07-07-2008.png Much work is going into the backend python code for reading/writing xorg.conf's (termed "X-Kit"), and we're looking into standardizing use of it in other tools (EnvyNG, Jockey, etc.) that need to make modifications to xorg.conf. I sense this tool could conceivably be of use for Debian users, so would like to hear if this is something you'd be interested in.
