Aha, okay.

With a full compatibility matrix, sample xorg.conf files for a number of possible configs, individual instructions, Xorg.0.log files linked into aforementioned matrix/table, special pointers to current news/issues/roadmap, of course also links to patches from sunsolve etc. I create such a thing anyways, so there isn't too much hassle involved, from your perspective. It was just, that I found the original link x.org/wiki more appropriate, than simply sunsolve. But an extra page would be best (with full community involvement via this list). -- Regards, Martin Bochnig http://www.martux.org/
