When booting live CDs and thin clients, there is a need to
(re)configure X automatically at boot time. To make this easier and
more convenient with the normal X packages, it would be nice if an
init.d script was provided to do call dexconf at boot time to generate
a new configuration. Here is a draft init.d script based on the
script included in xdebconfigurator and code fetched from the LTSP
package in Ubuntu.
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/xserver-common
#
# chkconfig: 2345 52 78

. /etc/default/xserver-common
fi
do_start() {
if [ true = "$ENABLE_AT_BOOT" ] ; then
if [ -z "$xserver_package" ]; then
# set default xserver
if [ -d /usr/share/doc/xserver-org/ ]; then
xserver_package="xserver-xorg"
elif [ -d /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/ ]; then
xserver_package="xserver-xfree86"

# Add code in /etc/default/xserver-common if you want to

Package: xorg-x11
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5
I just discovered that I have not been paying enough attention to the
package. This was fixed in xorg-11 version 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5:
* Add xserver-xorg.init script that will allow people (intended for
LiveCD's) to generate an xorg.conf on the fly at bootup. Thanks Petter
Reinholdtsen
Trying to close the bug by using the new version tracking in bts.
