Since this project is no longer maintained upstream (at least no new releases, homepage seems to have vanished), and there is a problem with correctly configurating X on a 17inch pb, we might look into a new maintainer for the tool or a new way of creating a good X config.
added upstream developer to cc field
Hey Pieter The stuff is offline, yes.. when they nuked my gentoo web dir they nuked all my active projects with it and I havent put them back up. I'm no longer working on them at all (in fact barely running linux on desktop at all) My honest suggestion is to update the latest Xautoconf in portage if it's not up to date. It does a pretty decent job of things now, and with a couple small wrapper scripts it could work quite similar to Xeasyconf ... the problems with the nvidia and fbdev aren't easily solved, and I don't have the time or ambition to do so right now and as I mentioned before now that Xautoconf is mostly functional again I don't think Xeasyconf is that necessary any longer.
Oh ... also to note, I did some patches on the first Xautoconf in portage to accomodate the layout of things in Gentoo PPC (which were refused upstream and led to writing Xeasyconf) ... I think since then those patches have been added (for alternate mouse/kbd stuff) .. but if not the patch may still be in portage. If you have a good candidate for Xeasyconf I wouldn't be opposed to someone taking over the project or making a new branch of it if they desire. I might still have some dev versions around somewhere in my backups .. I had a mostly automated version of it as well (which Xautoconf does a lot better anyway so I didn't bother to finish).
We'll switch to Xautocfg.
