Hello

There are 2 problems with the current hwd version when generating a xorg.conf:
1. It adds RGBPath to files section - which is not valid for the current version of the Xserver
2. It does not add "AudoAddDevices" "false" to ServerFlags which makes the xorg.conf more or less useless
Greetings
This task depends upon

Just try X -configure. hwd is broken for a long time. Maybe we should remove it from the repo if it is not maintained anymore?

+1 for removal of hwd. I don't see reason to keep it as we have so many autodetection things in our distribution already (udev, Xorg)

I have received several mails to keep hwd. The next update (ver. 6.0) will fix bugs and new X config script.
Comment by Thayer Williams (thayer) - Sunday, 07 December 2008, 19:36 GMT
A new version of hwd is now available in extra, which addresses both points made by the OP. Again, a big thanks to Rasat for the speedy update!
