What's coming in X.org

However, that may only be an interim solution. X.org's Keith Packard turned up for several of the X.org discussions, and he indicated that X.org will be solving some of these problems upstream in the 7.3 timeframe. According to Packard, X.org 7.3 shouldn't even require an xorg.conf -- everything should be autodetected at run time. X.org will receive information about new devices dynamically from D-Bus. X.org will also be moving to fontconfig to make fonts more dynamic.

Now we only have to wait until freebsd works with Xorg 7.x...

that would be a disaster. automatic detection never worked with some ATI card (like mine) and all i got from automatic detection is a blank screen.

i would rather have my xorg.conf. it's not that i'm editing that file, but proprietary ATI driver does it well, and it works.

I think this is the future, a computer program that knows how the frig to draw stuff on the monitor without us editing configuration files !

If it fails it should automatically start helping the user make there xorg.conf file via failsafe GUI then TUI if that fails ^_^
