[Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#471521: vga-toggle.sh: does not do XAUTHORITY dance

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts
Version: 1.0.2
Severity: important
File: /etc/acpi/actions/vga-toggle.sh

hotkey.sh does an XAUTHORITY dance to allow root to attach X clients
to a running server.  vga-toggle.sh does not do this, and thus its
xrandr commands fail.

Perhaps the XAUTHORITY dance in hotkey.sh should be abstracted out
into a library sourced by both scripts?

Also note that gdm uses a pseudorandomly-named temporary file in /tmp
rather than ~user/.Xauthority, so the current dance will not work for
them.
