Since Gentoo now supports X.org, Xautoconfig assumes the user is running XFree86.  This enhancement adds a test to see if Xorg is installed or if it should continue to use XFree86.  Depending on the installed system, it will create the configuration file for it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.run Xautoconfig
2.without checking for Xorg, simply writes XF86Config
3.user must manually change XF86Config to xorg.conf	

Actual Results:  
 

Expected Results:  
Should check to see if Xorg is installed instead and write xorg.conf file 
automatically.

Manually applied this patch for 2004.2 kde/gnome livecd.

Any chance of getting this patch into portage, with an updated ebuild?

I've been testing this. Seems to work just fine. 

I've also noticed there's a bug in the latest Xautoconfig: the binary is not Xautoconfig4 but Xautoconfig. 

I'll try to fix asap.

Both patches should be applied to Xautoconfig version 0.22.

Thnxs!

I patched the ebuild and patches a bit more, so that they don't fail.  All is in CVS now.
