Basically, it's kind of a user-friendly combination of the two. Your |
| 17 |
config files are modular (or monolithic if you prefer) and in the old |
| 18 |
xorg.conf style (can be read and edited more easily by humans), but |
| 19 |
can use udev to describe any hardware device with precision. So it |
| 20 |
should be able to have the power of HAL with the ease/familiarity of |
| 21 |
the old config files. |
