Re: [Fwd: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-48]


Might be a good idea to stick those parameters in the User's Guide section on command line parameters, even if they are covered by the generic documentation.

I forgot to mention that XF86Config support is disabled in this release.
 It may be possible to get XF86Config support building again, but
Alexander recently added some command-line options that should be a
useable replacement for most users.  In addition, the keyboard
autoconfiguration seems to be working for nearly all users, so there may
be little need for re-enabling the XF86Config support ever.


Some people are still using the config file eg. for setting another keyboard
variant like the german nodeadkeys variant.  This can now be done on the
commandline.

These options from the configfile are now available on the commandline

XF86Config option commandlien option

Fontpath                    -fp
RgbPath                     -co
XKBLayout                   -xkblayout
XKBModel                    -xkbmodel
XKBRules                    -xkbrules
XKBVariant                  -xkbvariant
XKBOptions                  -xkboptions  (note: I've never used this and
                               I'm not sure this was correctly implememted)

So if you had these entries in the configfile:

XKBLayout "de"
XKBVariant "nodeadkeys"

then it's now

XWin -xkblayout de -xkbvariant nodeadkeys
