Re: [andrew@neep.com.au: xf86cfg in 4.0.1-8?]
Andrew, it turns out both the missing Cards file *and* the ``bigger
things afoot'' -- are true; Cards was removed because xf86cfg is still
.. a work in progress. Much remains to be done, to prevent it from seg
faulting, etc.
The changelog mentions it is gone temporarily, I believe, though I
haven't a clue when it will be stable enough to be returned. :-/
