Package: ion3
Version: 20060524-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I just installed a small mod for Ion3 called mod_xrandr.  A denizen of
#ion told me about it and saved me the hassle of writing up a Lua script
to restart Ion3 everytime I change the resolution with xrandr.  

You can find the mod at http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/repos/.

mod_xrandr is _very_ small (only 4379 bytes of code); it really doesn't
do much crazy.  For some reason, Tuomo has't included it with the mods
in the standard Ion3 repository.  I suspect this isn't so much because
Tuomo thinks it's unworthy, but more because he might not be the author
of it, so it feel separate from the rest of his work.  Still, though, it
might be worth while getting his opinion on the code.

Even if it is partially broken.  I personally wouldn't mind if it were
included in the ion3 Debian package, documented clearly as possibly an
incomplete work or a silly hack, and by default not selected by the
system-wide Ion3 configuration.

At least for me, though, it seems to work as advertised.  It compiled
very easily for me, so if you do decide to include it in the Debian
package, it shouldn't be much work to integrate it in on your end.

Regards,
Sukant Hajra
