And Xorg still works! All new xorg is built into foresight’s devel branch today, including xorg-server 1.3. I updated to it, removed my xorg.conf and restart X…. held my breath for a moment…. X started!

I don’t know how complete the support is without having the config file yet, but for my radeon based laptop it just worked. This definately warrents more investigation.

Great work by the folks working on Xorg! Keep it up.

As a distro maintainer nothing has frustrated me as much as this little application firstboot. Well, I am very pleased to say I have whacked it!

Foresight has replaced firstboot with a combination of autoconfig (modified from knoppix) and firstrun. Autoconfig configures Xorg on boot and firstrun creates the first user and adds them to the wheel group.
