I made a patch for the loader to be able to ask for all installed modules for their vendor and options specifications. I would like to use that information in the SaX2 source and I think other applications like xorgcfg might benefit from the patch too. Simply call X -showopts and get something like: ... Driver[32]:fbdev[X.Org Foundation] { ShadowFB:<bool> Rotate:<str> fbdev:<str> } Here is the patch Thanks

Isn't this a duplicate of 5502? As mentioned there this patch may be really useful if somebody fixed xorgcfg to use it.
IMHO this should be handled independantly of fixing xorgcfg. Of course it would be possible and might make sense for xorgcfg to gather the required option information via "X -showopts".
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

I'm going to submit this patch.
