Ok, let's continue with it...
1) X Window System Components:
There's a "magick" cycle, attempting to make xorg installation as FHS
compatible as possible. Here's an issue with it...
Let's check what's going on when we run it:
{{{
mv -v /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit /etc/X11/ 2>/dev/null &&
# `/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit' -> `/etc/X11/'
# we do NOT have /etc/X11/xinit after this, because /etc/X11 didn't exist
# we just moved all files from /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit to /etc/X11 instead
# of creating /etc/X11/xinit
ln -v -s /etc/X11/xinit /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit
# `/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit' -> `/etc/X11/xinit'
# Therefore /etc/X11/xinit doesn't exist and we have broken symlink here
}}}
'''The solution is to run this before the cycle:'''
mkdir -p /etc/X11
2) Same section:
'' ... You may want to put 100dpi fonts ahead of 75dpi fonts ... ''
'''It's already 100dpi fonts come first in xorg.conf.new'''
'''Did I something wrong?'''
3) Same section:
''... The DejaVu fonts by are not aliased to the generic family names by
default ...''
''' It's a false. Just check /etc/fonts yourself... '''
4) Same section ...again:
''... As the root user, '''create the configuration directory and''' move
the configuration file to the new directory: ...''
'''It's already created'''
'''Therefore '-D' option is not needed anymore here:'''
''install -v -m644 -D ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf''
5) xorg-server-1.5.3:
Current xorg-server has some issues with hal support. For example, it
ignores xkb configuration from xorg.conf. The solution is in adding this
to ServerFlags:
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
