Hi,
I am trying to put a generic XF86Config file together that would work on most
computers. It is supposed to provide only basic functionality, but to be very
compatible.
This are my ideas:
- Multiple mouse sections for COM, ps/2 and usb mice and the Serverflag
AllowMouseOpenFail.
- use a generic video driver. Not sure if I should take the vga or vesa
driver. Which is more compatible?
- only 640x480 in 8Bit / maybe provide the 640x480 gtf mode in monitor section
- Monitor frequencies 30-31khz and 60-61Hz. Maybe better to use fixed
frequencies of 31.5 and I beleive 60Hz is what even ancient Monitors are
capable of.
- Is there anything else I need to consider ?
regards,
Marc
