SaX3 is a GSoC 2011 project. I have applied for it. So in order to strengthen my proposal I need some help from you guys. So if you can help me.
During my project, I would like to focus on these hardware components.
- Monitors / Graphic Cards
As jdd already wrote, especially managing multiple monitors (or laptop + VGA output) can become interesting[tm]. What I would also like to have (if supported by the X server) is some automatic mode that would be useful especially for laptops: - if a monitor is connected at the VGA output, use it (in the configured mode - in my case xinerama, but others might prefer clone mode) - if no external monitor is connected, limit the display size to the laptop display (as in "mouse pointer or windows can't be on the (not connected) monitor") (I know that this is exactly the usecase of "don't have a xorg.conf at all", however I still have one for various, including historical, reasons.)
- Keyboard
I see especially the keyboard language and layout as targets. (Might be the only way to configure it for the login manager.)
- Mouse
- Touchpad
If possible: different speed settings for mouse and touchpad. And in general: SaX should write out only the config parts that are needed/wanted by the user, not a complete xorg.conf. So if someone only changes the keyboard layout, SaX should only generate a configuration sniplet for the keyboard. Having an option to generate a full xorg.conf of course won't hurt.
