Not so goodNot so goodPosted Nov 30, 2004 20:21 UTC (Tue) by xav (subscriber, #18536)In reply to: Elektrified X.org released by tarvin Parent article: Elektrified X.org released
Elektra is just a hierarchic view of the traditionnal config file. Although it enables parts of the config to be updated without having a parser to rewrite the config file, it's far from what X really need: a totally dynamic config. X shouldn't require to have its config set in stone in a file, but should allow for dynamic discovery of hardware and reconfiguration at will without restarting running applications. Think RandR extension, but for everything.

X needs Posted Nov 30, 2004 20:37 UTC (Tue) by tarvin (subscriber, #4412) [Link] The less that has to be explicitly configured, the better. But this is orthogonal to how a general configuration system should be. If X become 100% auto-configuring, then fine - neither an xorg.conf nor an Elektra directory is needed. Still, other software needs to store system-wide or user-specific parameters.
