Hi, |

Second thread of help with my Macbook upgrade of essentials which I |
| 4 |
don't upgrade since a long time. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Now I have to prepare to jump from xorg-1.3 to xorg-1.6. I've seen |
| 7 |
already there are a lot of horror stories in the mailing list and a lot |
| 8 |
of weird instructions about hal, evdev etc. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Before starting, I have some pre-emptive question: |
| 11 |
- Is using hal for xorg necessary? |
| 12 |
- If I want xorg to use the same old config files of before, is it |
| 13 |
enough to compile with -hal ? Is there a way to tell xorg "dynamically" |
| 14 |
to use hal or not, so that I can check without recompiling but just by |
| 15 |
restarting X? |
| 16 |
- I have the keymap (an Italian Macbook keyboard) customized in the , so |
| 17 |
that, for example, apple key works as Alt-Gr. To keep such |
| 18 |
customizations on (which, I admit, I don't remember well where they are, |
| 19 |
but maybe someone of you does! it was in the Gentoo Wiki but now I see |
| 20 |
the relevant part is no more), is it again good to let xorg use xorg.conf? |
| 21 |
- Anything else I should be aware of, like stuff to put into xorg.conf |
| 22 |
before trying to restart X? |
| 23 |
|

Thanks! |
