Why does X in Debian hot have hardware detection?
Hi,
I upgraded my laptop today from a T23 Thinkpad to a T42 Thinkpad. Our laptop
support copied over the content of the hard disk and rebooted and everything
worked fine, except X.
I did an X -configure and adjusted in the config file the default color depth
manually. After that everything was operational again. Colleagues running on
windows typically do a fresh install in such a situation.
I am just wondering, why X does not use automatic hardware detaction like
Knoppix and other Debian derivates are doing? Or did I just miss to switch
this feature on for X??
Many thanks for the great distribution.
Rainer
