The whole demos package might be interesting, but whether it is included in the book or not depends on the complexity. If it's easy, I suggest adding it. I would prefer the configuration/testing page cover all of the needed actions in a consolidated way. For example, in LFS I added building GRUB to Chapter 6, but deferred the configuration to Chapter 8. In the same way, a single final page about configuring and testing Xorg, including demos. would be appropriate. As a side note, I think there are some caveats if a user will want to use the proprietary Nvidia drivers. IIRC, it had to do with the Module section of the configuration (DRI) and Mesa. Since Nvidia cards are quite common and users may decide to use the proprietary drivers, we may want to add a line or two about that if there are conflicts. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
