Description:
------------
Python tool that detect hardware and create a X configuration file.
X Window System: X.org
Features:
-> Fonts
It adds all the directories with fonts that find in /usr/share/fonts/. And to
place them of better to worse.
Also it verifies that those principal directories
(misc,TTF,Type1,CID,75dpi,100dpi) exist and who they have fonts, else they
are commentd out. And if video mode is greater or equal than 1024x768, then
it changes the order between 75dpi and 100dpi.
-> Monitors
It works well in laptops and non-edid monitors (old monitors).
In non-edid monitors, it add HorizSync, VertRefresh options with values by
default and show a warning about that.
For edid monitors check if monitor support DPMS option.
-> Screen
In edid monitors, it chooses the better modes according the "higher hz is
better" method for each depth.
And it chooses a good depth as default (search a depth with 1024x768 as
minimum, else 800x600).
-> Cards
The driver option
s are added from its manual.
If the graphic card also supports a owner driver as ati,nvidia, then if that
driver is installed in the system also is added but commented out. So the
free driver is used by default, but the user can change it.
-> Input devices
It detects touchpad and it is added.
--------------------------------------------------------------
ToDo:
- Module to X.org libraries
- Localization
- Configure 2 monitors with their graphic cards

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/vinque/Xconfig.py
Other Software Required:
------------------------
-> Linux kernel > 2.5 with /proc,/sys filesystems enabled.
-> The Linux PCI ID Repository
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids.gz
-> 'ddcxinfo-knoppix' : for get information about EDID monitors (monitor
modes, dpms, etc.)
http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppix/sources/
ddcxinfo-knoppix_0.6-5.tar.gz
This dependency could be deleted if I make a python module for access to
X.org libraries that get that information.

/usr/lib/modules/libvbe.a
/usr/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a
/usr/lib/modules/libddc.a

Other Comments:

I'll change Xconfig.py name to Xorgconfig.py
I'll translate spanish comments to english
