[Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#598097: [Debian-eeepc-commits] [SCM] Maintenance of eeepc-acpi-scripts debian package branch, master, updated. 1.1.5-80-ge23230d

[Ben Armstrong]

I don't think we're quite ready yet to make detect_x_display go away, so
I offer the following as a compromise to partially address #598097. Most
of the time our handlers based on detect_x_display seem to work. I'm
still unsure of why it isn't working with Paul with gdm3, as it seems to
work for me.
