I'd bet that if someone were to step up even now and resurrect sax2.. fix the bugs in it etc... it could be made available again via the community repos.
It is actually there, somewhere. But I doubt it would work. First, default video is handled in kernel space, not xorg. I'm not sure of what implications does this have at the time of configuring it via sax2. Can it do it? Then, you have the nomodeset thing, the kms thing, changing initrd, etc. It has to handle that part, and this is new. Then, the input things. mice, keyboard. The handling now is different. udev, hal, whatever, that few people understand. I don't. IIRC, the last mantainers said something about sax not being able to handle these right, or not at all. With all these problems, sax2 is useless as it is! It is sad, but... the truth (AFAIK). There is a version in the buildservice, but I doubt that it has been modified that much. What we need is a sax3 that handles X twinkling for the new age. Not as big as its antecesor, but that does a few basic things, instead of having to read manuals and edit text files >;-) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
