I think it is not good idea. Autoconfiguration is generally better than manual but in some cases autoconfiguration cannot help you. Examples:
- your xyz driver is broken and you want use vesa temporarily
Ultimately, we should be fixing these bugs. Not having a config file to work around them. But at the same time, the idea is that you can do things like this at the hal level with fdi files rather than xorg.conf
The answer here is that xorg.conf is allowed to be _very_ small. All the pieces you don't fill in will be filled in from the default configuration heuristic.
Ideally, though this doesn't work yet, you'd just do:
Section "Device" Driver "vesa" EndSection
and the rest would get filled in for you.
- you want use some external module (like vnc module)
Not sure what the best answer for these are... I defer to ajax :)
You should be able to load the vnc module, while still preserving the rest of the autoconfig logic, with a config file consisting of just:
Section "Module" Load "vnc" EndSection
This _should_ work today. Please let me know if it doesn't!
