Hi, Second thread of help with my Macbook upgrade of essentials which I don't upgrade since a long time.
Now I have to prepare to jump from xorg-1.3 to xorg-1.6. I've seen already there are a lot of horror stories in the mailing list and a lot of weird instructions about hal, evdev etc. Before starting, I have some pre-emptive question: - Is using hal for xorg necessary? - If I want xorg to use the same old config files of before, is it enough to compile with -hal ? Is there a way to tell xorg "dynamically" to use hal or not, so that I can check without recompiling but just by restarting X? - I have the keymap (an Italian Macbook keyboard) customized in the , so that, for example, apple key works as Alt-Gr. To keep such customizations on (which, I admit, I don't remember well where they are, but maybe someone of you does! it was in the Gentoo Wiki but now I see the relevant part is no more), is it again good to let xorg use xorg.conf? - Anything else I should be aware of, like stuff to put into xorg.conf before trying to restart X? Thanks! m.
