Bug 49043 – patch to allow xeasyconf-0.1.5 to work with x-org

Here's a trivial patch for Xeasyconf-0.1.5 to allow it to use either XFree86 or Xorg to generate configs

Also it tries to pull XFree86 as a dep (can it be adjusted to use an X virtual?  I've not been following how that stuff goes).

I applied this patch, and Xeasyconf runs now, however it still creates an /etc/XF86Config-4 file that only contains a DRI and a Modes section, none of the other required config into.

How am I supposed to be running this to create the complete xorg.conf?

I think it's best to deprecate Xeasyconf in favor of Xautoconfig. Xeasyconf hasn't got a maintainer. 

Ideas?

Probably a good idea, that patch is old and broken for recent xorg (most xorg in fact)

Xautoconfig is being maintained by owen from YDL an is working for Xorg last I tried it.

Yep. It does need a patch though to get it to use paths to fonts instead of a font server, but that's another bug. I'm going to close this. Thnxs for the feedback.
