Bug#242952: xserver-xfree86: [wish] When installing and autodetecting hardware print out, what hardware was found

[Alexander Schmehl <alexander@schmehl.info>]

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: wishlist


Good morning,

during a semy-newbie test installation with the new debian-installer,
the test person was a little bit confused, when he configured X. He
choosed to detect mouse and monitor automatically, which worked very
well. But since the installation process continued right after his last
choice, he thought that something crashed. He expectet to get some kind
of success-message.

I think it would be a good idea, to print out, what mouse / monitor /
etc. was found, to prevent users thinking the configuration has crashed.


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
