Description Joerg Sonnenberger 2007-11-30 08:59:15 UTC
The modeline2c script is the only part of the Xorg server that requires Perl. Attached is a simpler replacement that works with any normal AWK.

Update for Makefile.am to remove dependency

Currently the xserver fails to build without this (now deleted) file, as the Makefile tries to distribute it.  The patch simply removes the reference to modeline2c.pl.

Reopening as their is clearly still an issue here (see previous comment).
