XF86Config and commandline

[Alexander Gottwald]

Hi

I'm working on a full support of the XF86Config file (with the screen 
sections) and want to make all special options from the commandline also 
available from the configfile.

With these changes I also want to simplify the commandline parsing. Most
options which can be specified for each screen will be only available
for all screens.

eg. XWin -screen 0 800x600 -fullscreen -screen 1 800x600
does currently enable fullscreen only for the first screen and not for the
second will then set both screen to fullscreen.

I want to do this to simplify the datastructures where I have to store
the commandline options which will override the settings from the configfile.

Any comments to this?

BTW: I attached an example, how the configfile could look like.

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier	"Keyboard1"
    Driver	"Keyboard"
# For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to "Standard").
# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris),
# uncomment the following line.

#    Option     "Protocol"      "Xqueue"

    Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))

#    Option "LeftAlt"     "Meta"
#    Option "RightAlt"    "ModeShift"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#    Option "XkbModel"    "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#    Option "XkbModel"    "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#    Option "XkbLayout"   "de"
# or:
#    Option "XkbLayout"   "de"
#    Option "XkbVariant"  "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#    Option "XkbOptions"  "ctrl:swapcaps"

# These are the default XKB settings for XFree86
#    Option "XkbRules"    "xfree86"
#    Option "XkbModel"    "pc101"
#    Option "XkbLayout"   "us"
