Re: minimal X.org xserver installation on Debian Wheezy
Thank you for replies! As I understand, "xserver-xorg" will install
/usr/bin/X binary, which is a X Window Server itself and "xinit"
installs the /usr/bin/xinit utility which starts the X Window Server
and window manager(dwm in my case) as a X Windows Server client. As I
have Intel 945GM video card, I need to install
"xserver-xorg-video-intel" package, but why exactly is this needed? I
mean at the moment, according to "lspci -vvv", I use i915.ko driver
and it's able to show the picture. Or is the performance lot better
with intel_drv.so driver which will be installed with
"xserver-xorg-video-intel" package? Or is it a problem for xserver if
the driver module runs in kernel space?
In addition, am I correct that "xserver-xorg-input-evdev" just
installs the necessary user-space driver for handling mouse and
keyboard input to xserver?
regards,
Martin
