Time to update the docu for XF86Config ?

[Harold L Hunt II]

Sylvain,

Those sections don't pretend that we don't have XF86Config support, they 
simply have not been updated since 2002-05-26.

The XF86Config support should be generic to XFree86, right?  So we could 
probably point to the XFree86 documentation for XF86Config.  However, I 
hesitate to do this myself because I really struggle trying to write 
documentation for things that I cannot test out on my own.  It is very 
difficult to write when you have no idea what you are writing about and 
cannot verify that it works for yourself.  Thus, I would appreciate it 
if someone would send a patch against the current documentation source 
with updates for XF86Config.  In the worst case, I would appreciate it 
if someone would write a paragraph or two (complete with some links to 
other documentation) that described what users with non-US keyboards 
should do.  I can handle marking that text up to DocBook, but writing it 
on my own will probably continue to be put off.

I am sorry, but I really don't feel qualified to write documentation for 
non-US keyboard users.
