Today was a pretty lite day. I took the Jag in for service, and while I was there I gotta a lot of reading done. After that, I had lunch with Ed Corrado and John LeMasney. I gave John a sort-of working copy of the ISO, so he could work on icons. I’m really happy that John is really excited about the project.
Then Ed stopped by after work and we hashed out a way to fix a kudzu problem I was having. It seems that kudzu generates a xorg.conf file if it doesn’t see one, or if there is new video hardware, it will move the current copy to backup and make a new one. This was trumping the method that the ISO uses to allow the user to select a custom resolution. That file, prefdm, also looks for a xorg.conf file. Both prefdm and kudzu call system-config-display, but prefdm is a text file, so during the boot process, we can feed the custom resolution switch to system-config-display via sed. Kudzu is binary, so we can’t really do anything with it unless we hack it and recompile. But we have a pretty good plan for fixing it… I’ll keep you in suspense until I actually get it working ;-)
