I'm not completely familiar with the code changed, and looked at it only
briefly - and it looked like this removes static configuration
completely.

If that is the case, that's a no-go ATM, because we don't have any other
way e.g. to configure the framebuffer size for now (for drivers that are
not capable of resizing on the fly, i.e. all but intel (maybe radeon?)).
And we probably need static config for nontrivial multiscreen setups,
until all login managers know how to do that dynamically.

OTOH if this doesn't touch static config, please ignore :-)

I'm unsure ATM, but I think that sax2 still uses 'X -probe'. OTOH we
will deprecate sax2 for openSUSE 11.2 anyway...
In any case, this is something not to be applied unless we want to bump
at least the minor version number.

As always, these are my 2 cents. Mine!

Thanks

Matthias
