At the moment xorg.conf is handled within the xserver-xorg .bb file.
As xorg.conf varies per machine this will effectively make xserver-xorg
machine specific which sort of defeats the purpose of a module xorg.
My suggestion is to move xorg.conf out of xserver-xorg. Then add a
RRECOMMEND_${PN} = "xserver-xorg-conf" to xserver-xorg.
Is this a sane plan?
Graeme

Yes, that sounds like a splendid plan. I would even hope that some
(maybe most) machines can cope without having an xorg.conf at all
nowadays.

With a machine using a plain framebuffer xorg.conf shouldn't be needed
(or empty) anymore, for other machines like omap based ones an xorg.conf
is needed to point to xf86-video-omapfb. So, yes, most machines in OE
can do without an xorg.conf :)

Koen
