Talk:X.Org

Rename of related articles.
I'll probably move Graphics drivers to X Graphics and X.Org/Input drivers to X Input this weekend, if you've got any thoughts or objections, please let me know. Ni1s 12:50, 11 September 2009 (GMT)


 * X Graphics Seems less obvious than Graphics drivers. Any good reason why it should be moved? (X Input likewise is a framework, not really the page for input drivers...) ComputerDruid 13:05, 11 September 2009 (GMT)


 * The input drivers article is certainly directly bound to X.Org. It should remain a subpage of X.Org and retain its name.--Titan 22:02, 11 September 2009 (GMT)


 * I would say the same goes for Graphics drivers, but it was moved from X.Org/ for some reason I can't remember now. Ni1s 11:58, 14 September 2009 (GMT)


 * My reason is mostly the bad flow of the X articles, X.Org, X.Org/Input drivers, Graphics drivers and its related "troubleshooting" articles(Intel GMA, radeon, nvidia, etc. etc.).


 * I do agree that it seems a bit haphazard. The input drivers are specific to X.Org. So, they most certainly should remain precisely where they are. Graphics drivers, on the other hand, are not specific to X.Org. They can be used without X.Org being in place. For example, without the Nvidia driver running on my machine, the fan will never spin down at the console. Now, the articles regarding the various video card drivers could be grouped under the Graphic Cards article. The articles could also stand a bit of a split. There are sections in the Nvidia article that pertain to X.Org alone, but not the whole thing and it is getting to be a bit long. Doing the split, however, may make it an even greater mess than it is now. Grouping it under the primary graphics article would give it a much more organized feel. --Titan 20:30, 15 September 2009 (GMT)


 * Yeah, there are things like that(silly bin blobs) that needs to be considered, but still, the article is intentionally written to be specific to X graphics drivers.Ni1s 22:30, 15 September 2009 (GMT)

Xorg Configuration with evdev
In regards to the line: "The recommended method is to use the Xorg -configure if you're not using the evdev." Is this still accurate? Whats the recommended method if you ARE using evdev???? -- ''Preceding unsigned comment added by Mousee 16:02, 4 May 2010 (GMT)

The recommended method if you're using evdev, HAL/udev and dbus is to just startx. No extra configuration should be necessary. Maybe some tweaks here and there, but you shouldn't need a full blown configuration file. --Titan 12:07, 5 May 2010 (GMT)
