X Configuration Modification.

[William Robinson]

Hello list.

First, a brief introduction, I am a relatively new ubuntu-pusher. I have 
made four installations of it in the last month. I find ubuntu most 
impressive. The usability engineering is most commendable.

I see that you are in need of an X Configuration Modification. During 
the last installation of Ubuntu I did at the weekend, I had to configure 
  a Matrox video card with a monitor on it, and an NVidia-based video 
card with a monitor and a TV plugged into it. The difficulty of keeping 
trying setups made me want to tackle the lack of an X configuration 
modification program in ubuntu, but I would like to make one such that 
it could be used in other distributions.

I am just emailing to see if anyone else has had an interest in this. I 
have already spoken to Daniel Stone on IRC briefly. If anyone else has 
made a start on this, I would like to know.  I don't want to tread on 
anyone's toes. I would invite anyone to join me with any expectations, 
ideas, or any kind of support.

I have started by using the libxf86config.a functions to parse the 
current configuration file. I have made a C++/libgnomeuimm based 
application, using glade for the design. I already have a subversion 
repository active on my home machine for the development of this. Of 
course, everything could change at this point, I have a few days off, so 
I will try and do as much of this as I can now.

If anyone is really very interested:
svn co svn://hobbiton.cjb.net/gxconfig/trunk gxconfig

However, it doesn't do a lot much yet. I'm just letting y'all know.

Thanks for your time.
bill
