Xserver file generation

Xserver file generation

[Marco Cavallini]

Hi, I need your help to solvea problem with Xserver file generation

Distro:kaeilos
Machine:ronetix-pm9263
Image: x11-image

I am trying to figure out how the /etc/X11/Xserver file is generated,
because when I read such file in the target system I find something that
I haven't defined and that looks neither defined from any of the patches
related to the proper recipe package xserver-common_1.22.bb

At last my questions and doubts are the following:
1. Is it correct to consider xserver-xcommon the recipe responsible for
creating such file?
2. How would be created the Xserver file?
3. WHich patches flow is involved into its creation?


The file I get on the target contains the following :
http://pastebin.com/m42ba5037

TIA
/marco

That file does look like the one from xserver-common.  (There's also a
competing version of Xserver in xserver-kdrive-common; I don't think
this is what you have, but "opkg search" would tell you for sure.)

I'm not quite sure I understand your questions 2 and 3.  Xserver is just
copied from the source directory into the output package; it isn't
really "created" inside OE.  As for the patches, I don't know offhand
which ones are applied but again, there is nothing special about the
Xserver file; OE will use the same rules as for everything else.

What's the actual problem that you're trying to solve here?

for xserver-common you can send me a patch and I'll make sure it gets upstream.
xserver-kdrive-common is maintained in OE so you can change it like any other
file in OE.
