Hi
I search to add short descriptions missed and I found xkeystone installed by
xrandr package.
xkeystone is a Nickle (see http://nickle.org/) script. So BLFS book don't
report Nickle as a dependency of the xrand package.
But this script has no manpage. It isn't documented, and it seems
useless.....
Archlinux delete it
(https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=xorg-xrandr-git)
Gentoo delete it (http://gpo.zugaina.org/AJAX/Ebuild/2875478/View)

Maybe we should mention nickle and cairo-5c as optional deps, with a
comment "only if you wish to try to run the undocumented xkeyhost
script".
Although that linuxquestions thread reported that nichrome-5c was
apparently missing in a source build for slackware, and could not be
found, debian apparently have supplied it as part of cairo-5c, so
perhaps there is more to it than just building cairo-5c from the
official source (debian patches or other shenanigans).
And then in the install "Unless you installed the optional
dependencies, remove an undocumented script which is reported to be
broken."
Alternatively, just remove it (undocumented, reported to be broken).
ĸen
ok,
I add nickle and cairon-5c as optionale deps, and I add in the install
an instruction to remove this script.
#6827 ticket (<http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/6827>) to
see my patch.
Thanks Ken.
