So, the question is "Should that be the official recommendation for BLFS?" Basically, use hal, and then do an xorg.conf without the input device sections for 1.5.3 (or use the patch if you want to have input sections for some reason)...1.6 doesn't matter how you configure it. As it is, my 7 button mouse and usb keyboard work with no additional configuration on 1.5.3, so I'm content, and confident with 1.5.3 +patch (using an 'official' distribution of X gives the nice fuzzy) but maybe 1.6 is better. I've seen many mention of the distro's playing nicely with 1.6. We also need the 1.6 server to use the new Intel DRI2(???) stuff right, along with new Mesa, new LibDRM, and new drivers? Any other gotchas? I haven't kept tabs on X development lately. Too much magic voodoo stuff over there. ;-) -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
