Hi,

FYI, I'm creating alternative X configuration tool inspired from Knoppix.

This is consisted by some packages.
* tettei-xconfig (X configuration tool)
* kudzu-mini (simple Kudzu, device detection. you can use kudzu
  package also instead of this)
* ddcxinfo-knoppix (DDC interaction tool)

You can get:
deb http://kmuto.jp/debian/experimental ./
deb-src http://kmuto.jp/debian/experimental ./

1. Install Sarge.
2. Add above apt-line into your /etc/apt/sources.list.
3. Run 'apt-get install tettei-xconfig kudzu-mini'
4. xserver-xfree86 debconf asks you about configuration, but these
   setting will be overwritten.
5. Run 'tettei-xconfig'. This tool talks with discover and kudzu
   automatically and makes /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Some value will be
   copied to xserver-xfree86 debconf.

BUGS:
* Many many bugs are still there :-)
* Sometime USB mouse detection will be failed because USB bus
  controller driver isn't loaded.
* I didn't test kernel 2.6 well yet. (Maybe mouse device filename should
  be changed)
* Too few keyboard maps.
* discover is only for detecting video card, kudzu is only for
  detecting mouse. It looks wasteful. I'll be more happy if discover
  provides elegant detection about mouse and DDC information.

Thanks,
