Yeah, I'm leaning towards relying on that instead of making any other
guesses.

Unfortunately, the new patch below breaks distcheck:

Making install in udev

Any idea what's going on?

make -C build-amd64 install DESTDIR=$PWD/build-amd64/install

works fine.

Yeah, maybe my shell is too forgiving… Fixed now, thanks.

Right, it was used originally but not anymore.

Nice suggestion.

Yeah, copy & paste considered harmful. :}


Something else I'm wondering: Does it make sense to install the
xorg.conf.d snippet unconditionally, or will it hurt with the server
using HAL?

Thanks to Timo Aaltonen for the udev rules file and Dan Nicholson for review
and suggestions for improvement.
