Hi, I am currently looking into developing a customised version of Anaconda that would have to detect videocard, monitor, and mouse type for creating a working /etc/X11/XF86Config, and then let the machine bootup normally. Basically, I would like to integrate Anaconda's ability to recognize and configure hardware to allow X to start on a machine that already has RedHat (or whatever other distro) installed. I need this because I am not happy with how kudzu autodetects and configures X related hardware ... it has already messed up several XF86Config files in my home network after a hardware upgrade. I am not aware of any other way of starting a working (even minimal is OK) X server after, for instance, a videocard upgrade. I am completely new to Python, but after looking at some source files (xserver.py, xsetup.py and some of the rhpl library), I would have thought that writing a small driver program that uses those objects would do the job. Has this already been done before? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance to all. -- Kristian
