2309	Some XOrg issues in the book	Arthur Demchenkov	dnicholson@…	"Hello, there.[[BR]]
 
There're some issues in current development version of the BLFS book that I found...

'''''Chapter 25. X Window System Environment[[BR]]
X Window System Components'''''[[BR]]
1. Code:

{{{
mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&
ln -svt /etc/X11 \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{twm,xkb,fs,lbxproxy,proxymngr} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{rstart,xdm,xinit,xserver,xsm} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults
}}}

I think it should be changed to something like this (look at '''xkb'''):
{{{
mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&
ln -svt /etc/X11 \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{twm,fs,lbxproxy,proxymngr} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{rstart,xdm,xinit,xserver,xsm} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/{app-defaults,xkb}
}}}

Did I something wrong?[[BR]]
By the way, I have ''X11-data-xkb-1.0.1''

2. The next issue:
{{{
install -v -m755 -D ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
}}}
and
{{{
install -v -m755 -D ~/XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config
}}}
Why not ""'''-m644'''"" ? It is more appropriate here I think.


3. Setting up Keyboards[[BR]]

What do we see here?[[BR]]
{{{
Section ""InputDevice""
    Identifier          ""Keyboard0""
    Driver              ""Keyboard""
}}}

Xorg '''won't even start''' with such config.[[BR]]

There's no such driver ""''Keyboard''"" in Xorg. There are ""''keyboard''"" and ""''kbd''"". Choose any :-)

4. There's a type in '''''xterm''''':[[BR]]
{{{
--with-app-default=$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults&&
}}}
Better variant:[[BR]]
{{{
--with-app-default=$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults &&
}}}

Thanks for spent time.
