Another update...
OK I can give an update...

* non-working 3d accel due to mesalib installing the dri stuff into
/usr/lib instead of /usr/lib/modules/dri(yes this IS the proper dir)
-- NEEDS to be fixed


Fixed... the mesalib spell was broken in other grimoires as well...

* missing/gone X locales this is driving me insane -- NEEDS to be fixed
the only relevant information I could find so far is:
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-modular/2005-June/000394.html
which so far hasn't solved it for me


Found what was causing this... the locale libs are installed into
/usr/lib/X11/locale/lib/common while EVERYTHING else is looking for them
in /usr/lib/X11/locale/common


Fixed... it now installs where it looks...

* the XKB stuff has been modified/moved around so XKB rules need fixing
i.e. no more XkbLayout "dvorak" needs to be
XkbLayout "us"
XkbVariant "dvorak"

* auto detection of mouse protocol protocol renamed to auto-dev

The first two need to be fixed until then I consider both as
blockers...

Hope this can get us more ppl to test this...
If you want to help out you can add the xorg-modular grimoire using...

scribe add xorg-modular from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/sourcemage/codex/testing/xorg-modular.tar.bz2


There is also a bugzilla component to report bugs to so feel free to hammer
at it
and report bugs...

Thanks! :)
