Hello, there.[[BR]]
There're some issues in current development version of the BLFS book that
I found...
'''''Chapter 25. X Window System Environment[[BR]]
X Window System Components'''''[[BR]]
1. Code:
{{{
mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&
ln -svt /etc/X11 \
$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{twm,xkb,fs,lbxproxy,proxymngr} \
$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{rstart,xdm,xinit,xserver,xsm} \
$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults
}}}
I think it should be changed to something like this (look at '''xkb'''):
{{{
mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&
ln -svt /etc/X11 \
$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{twm,fs,lbxproxy,proxymngr} \
$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{rstart,xdm,xinit,xserver,xsm} \
$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/{app-defaults,xkb}
}}}
Did I something wrong?[[BR]]
By the way, I have ''X11-data-xkb-1.0.1''
2. The next issue:
{{{
install -v -m755 -D ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
}}}
and
{{{
install -v -m755 -D ~/XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config
}}}
Why not "'''-m644'''" ? It is more appropriate here I think.
3. Setting up Keyboards[[BR]]
What do we see here?[[BR]]
{{{
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "Keyboard"
}}}
Xorg '''won't even start''' with such config.[[BR]]
There's no such driver "''Keyboard''" in Xorg. There are "''keyboard''"
and "''kbd''". Choose any :-)
4. There's a type in '''''xterm''''':[[BR]]
{{{
--with-app-default=$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults&&
}}}
Better variant:[[BR]]
{{{
--with-app-default=$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults &&
}}}
Thanks for spent time.
