I would like to be re-assured that the issues that Adam raises are still possible, perhaps via a different config facility, if there were a fully xorg.conf'less X in future. In particular I most definitely would be very disadvantaged without the vnc module. Can anyone respond to say how this module would be loaded when X started if it there is no xorg.conf? Similarly how would the current touchpad parameter changes to customise the touchpad be input without an xorg.conf? I presume that these issues have been thought about even if there is no complete answer at present? Some idea of what needs to be developed in order to accommodate these reductions in capability must surely have been thought through before the decision to develop X to the point of not having xorg.conf for F10? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
