Re: Documentation

[James v. Z. <ja...@dv...>]

Sounds like a good idea to me. Certainly I think it's necessary to cover
the whole scope of multi-console configurations. I suspect it will take
a while before the more abstract configs are documented, but I'd rather
see something comprehensive than something that leaves users wondering
what to do because they're using such-and-such distribution etc, or
spending days looking at a common and easily fixable issue.

So a troubleshooting table?

Happy to recieve tidbits from other users. How are you configured? Some
distro's probably have different quirks ; for example I will document
building X from .srpm packages but that's only good for Redhat/Fedora
users

If you are using multi-console configurations, feel free to email me
with whatever you feel will help - alternative display manager
configurations, distribution specific differences, successful configs
using framebuffers and dual-head cards etc etc.

Open for submissions; I will continue by covering patching and building
X for a Fedora install, including the vt options Ubuntu users were
talking about that got evdev implementation stable, if they're necessary
for FC; faketty stopped my planned evdev migration in it's tracks...

Certainly an evdev implementation document would be helpful.
