The output of xorg -configure

Created attachment 3259 [details]
Xorg.0.log

Looks like the -configure code may need a bit of work to live in a modular world.

That message comes from this bit of code:

    vlist = xf86DriverlistFromCompile();

    if (!vlist) {
        ErrorF("Missing output drivers.  Configuration failed.\n");
        goto bail;
    }

That uses the value of the DRIVERS #define from compile time, which can be set
in the monolith to the full list of drivers, but the modular server build can't
know which driver modules you will build.   xf86DoProbe.c seems to have the
same problem.

Maybe we can replace this with something that just does a readdir of the module
directories or something similar?

that sounds wise, i'll hack something up...

so the current thinking is to replace GenerateDriverList with a trivial call to
DriverListDir when building a loadable server, and keep the current logic in
place for non-loadable server.

which almost works, but it gets the output file name wrong in the modular build
system (puts root's ~ before $(prefix)).

fixed.  and with new found loathing for the autoconfig logic.  KILL IT WITH FIRE.
