17:11 < jcristau> hrm. so with pciaccess, Driver "i810" in xorg.conf -> fail
17:19 < jcristau> ajax: any idea how to fix that? problem is the server
compares the name in xorg.conf against drvp->driverName,
which is "intel"
17:19 < ajax> i think we still have a compat patch for that?
17:20 < ajax> huh, guess not.
17:22 < jcristau> in the non-pciaccess path, I810Probe calls
xf86MatchDevice("i810"), but that's not used anymore
17:25 < ajax> well the lazy way to do it is in the server
17:25 < ajax> add a hack to the top of InitOutput() like what InitInput() does
to do s/keyboard/kbd/
17:25 < ajax> personally i'd just as soon do sed -i /Driver/s/i810/intel/
xorg.conf in %post though
17:26 < jcristau> i guess i can do something like that. thanks
Not sure which option is best. Opinions?
Cheers,
Julien
