Re: XF86Config and commandline

Hi

I'm working on a full support of the XF86Config file (with the screen sections) and want to make all special options from the commandline also available from the configfile.

With these changes I also want to simplify the commandline parsing. Most
options which can be specified for each screen will be only available
for all screens.

eg. XWin -screen 0 800x600 -fullscreen -screen 1 800x600
does currently enable fullscreen only for the first screen and not for the
second will then set both screen to fullscreen.


I don't like that. I don't think it is something that should be gotten rid of. It may not be important for -fullscreen, but it is is important for -depth, -dpi, etc.

I want to do this to simplify the datastructures where I have to store
the commandline options which will override the settings from the configfile.

Any comments to this?

bye

BTW: I attached an example, how the configfile could look like. NP: Terminal Choice - The Saviour
