My experience with modular so far

[Sune Vuorela <nospam@vuorela.dk>]

Hi! 
Yesterday, I tried installing the modular stuff from experimental to
test it - and try to empty /usr/X11R6.

Problems:
X wouldn't start at all. startx just returned 
xinit: Server error.
X wrote nothing on console or in logfiles and just exit 0

After some more looking into it, the /etc/X11/X symlink pointed to
/bin/true.
I have no idea how this have happened and why. But I corrected the
symlink to point to /usr/bin/Xorg and then X started.

So far, so good. My mouse is still not working using the "mouse" driver.
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "CorePointer"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
        Option 	    "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
	Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
							


cleaning up in /usr/X11R6 :
I have endede up with some symlinks in /usr/X11R6/lib pointing to
none-existing files:

libFS.so.6 -> libFS.so.6.0
libviaXvMCPro.so.1 -> libviaXvMCPro.so.1.0
libviaXvMC.so.1 -> libviaXvMC.so.1.0
libXext -> libXext.so.6.4
libXvMCW.so.1 -> libXvMCW.so.1.0

I ended up with 2 dirs and content in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 with no 'owner' 
according to dpkg:
x11perfcomp
xedit

both originating from xbase-clients from unstable, but somehow still
present after upgrading to 7.0.0-1 

So it is almost working, except my mouse. (Any hints?)
