rc1 of 1.1 does everything just about perfectly - install is dead clean, and, as long as one knows what sources to use, one can have a complete desktop environment with all the bells and whistles pretty quickly.
Please notice that it's not really an official rc1 of 1.1, JFTR. ;) Busy working on that...
My Dell laptop, however, and most dell latitudes, which is a high percentage of business users' machines, uses the alps touchpad. Normally, the synaptics driver is loaded, no problem, but grml-x does not configure it, nor can I, even simply copying my current xorg.conf, get it to work.
[...]
Both work in sidux, but I hate to have to reinstall it just to get the xorg.conf from it, if indeed, that is even the problem.
[...]
What is up? Is this yet another udev does not like something issue?
Please upgrade grml-x from grml-testing (make sure you have the grml-testing repository enabled in sources.list) and regenerate xorg.conf then (there were some fscking changes in current X.org which sadly required changes in grml-x as well):
# au ; agi grml-x ; grml-x -force -nostart fluxbox % grml-x flubox
Does it work then? If not can you please share the generated xorg.conf which is known to be "broken" and a working one (like the one from sidux)?
