DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: xfree86

yeah, I see what you mean. I was thinking maybe a generic XF86Config file could be installed into /etc/X11...something that contains a very simple config that might work on a majority of systems, then the user could edit or replace that file at his convenience.
I have no idea if this would work.

Eh, there are so many different variables (refresh rate, mouse port, resolution, color depth, etc) that having an XF86Config-4 in base DSL would be a waste of time. We have lots of nice premade fires with the extension already, as well as instructions for how to put it into place.

thanks for the instructions and the people that put them together but for a newbie they are hard to follow thats why there are so many people interested in an easy to install extention , bear in mind that most of us are not linux gurus and
a lot of the how-tos are put toguether by users that know linux inside out .

Not really, I wrote many of them myself.

Not the XFree instructions, but they are very simple.

You have to copy one text file to /etc/X11 and edit another.

Not that complicated, and as near to a one-click install as you will find.

it must be just me then , I could not get my box going with Xfree so I apt-got the metapackage from debian and got it going that way I still have problems whit my serial mouse after that but I gess
I can live with that.
