You will need to have a working Python install before you can even run the setup.py script. -displayconfig-hwprobe installation ----------------------------------- -displayconfig-hwprobe.py is a small program that should be run at boottime -before Xorg is started. It scans the PCI bus looking for graphics cards and -compares the list it finds to the previous time it was run. If the two lists -of hardware are different then "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" is automatically -run in non-interactive mode to generate a new xorg.conf based on the new -hardware. - -The philosophy is that it is better to have a system with a raw but working -xorg.conf and X server, than to keep the old configuration and a Xorg that -won't startup. Swapping a graphics card should not "break" the OS. - -The setup.py script currently does not install displayconfig-hwprobe.py by -itself. For now this must be done by the packager. displayconfig-hwprobe.py -should be put in /etc/init.d and installed to run at boot time with a command -like this: - - update-rc.d displayconfig-hwprobe.py start 18 3 . - -displayconfig-hwprobe.py only supports Kubuntu right now. Perhaps in the -future displayconfig-hwprobe will be expanded to detect hardware and generate -an xorg.conf by itself. - -More information about displayconfig-hwprobe.py and the files it uses is -inside displayconfig-hwprobe.py. Currently the hardware data is written to -/var/lib/guidance/guidance-gfxhardware-snapshot. IMPORTANT: The directory -/var/lib/guidance/ should be created before using displayconfig-hwprobe.py. - - Running ------- Installation should add a couple of entries to the Trinity Control Center in the -System section (displayconfig will show up in Peripherals). It is also possible +System section. It is also possible to run the commands outside of the Trinity Control Center from the shell as root: * serviceconfig * userconfig * mountconfig - * displayconfig * wineconfig * grubconfig |
