Comment(by bernie):

 Replying to [comment:12 cscott]:
 > Do we still need to make xorg.conf changes, or is this bug fixed by not
 compiling support into X?

 I could only disable some of the listed extensions at compile-time:

 {{{
 %if 0%{?olpc}
         --disable-xtrap \
         --disable-record \
         --disable-xvmc \
         --disable-dga \
         --disable-xdmcp \
         --disable-xinerama \
         --disable-xf86vidmode \
         --disable-xf86misc \
         --disable-xace \
         --disable-xcsecurity \
         --disable-appgroup \
         --disable-cup \
         --disable-evi \
         --disable-dbe \
         --disable-xevie \
         --disable-glx \
         --disable-aiglx \
         --disable-afb \
         --disable-mfb \
         --disable-cfb \
         --disable-xdmcp \
         --disable-xdm-auth-1 \
         --enable-builtin-fonts \
         --enable-null-root-cursor \
         --enable-config-dbus \
         --enable-config-hal \
 %endif
 }}}

 Expecialy for "extmod" extensions, we still need the config change.  I'm
 going to move the various xorg.conf from pilgrim to olpc-utils, so the fix
 will go here.


 > Also, bernie, the .xinitrc issue is separate, but is that safe to remove
 from joyride?

 Not yet.  I agreed with marco that we should do what .initrc currently
 does in the /usr/bin/sugar shell script.  But I've not yet completed this
 change.

 It will be in olpc-utils, too, and it will probably require a simultaneous
 pilgrim update.
