Re: Intent to package: Xconfigurator
While at it, why not add monitor detection, like windows can do?

Uh, I was kind of planning on recruiting some folks to rip that thing
open
and Debianizing it for the potato release. I already have the latest
Red Hat diffs in my X work directory on various machines, and was going
to
go through them for potato X.
I'm just still working on kicking slink X out of the nest.
Would you mind doing this work under the umbrella of the X Strike Force?
I'd like to ship the X configurator in xserver-common once it's ready
for
prime time.
