If you have ever hacked together an XF86Config for "unsupported" hardware 
you probably realise how time consuming it can be. If you are a novice 
Unix user, chances are you won't even get it to work properly. That where 
this project comes in. I want people to send me any examples of working 
XF86Config files that they have generated. That means you! Please don't 
use the "I'll do it tomorrow" excuse, someone else might need it before 
then.

Submitting your examples is very quick and easy. Download README.example 
and fill in the required fields. Email the resulting README and your 
XF86Config to xf86config@eircom.net and I'll add it to the next release. 

Initially I'll just release a tarball and changelog with details of whats 
included in each release. Eventually I hope to have a search engine 
and/or database for the examples, but I don't have time for that yet. If 
you want to get started on that side of things please contact me to let 
me know. I'll also do my best to rate the examples sent in based on any 
feedback I get from people using them.

Finally, if you use one of these examples on a piece of hardware there 
are a couple of things you can do to help.
1) If any damage is caused by the configuration report it to me 
   IMMEDIATELY so that I can remove it from the collection, or at least 
   flag it as potentially dangerous.
2) Tweak it so that it does work and send me the new XF86Config with an 
   updated README file.
3) Simply report that it didn't work for you even though you had a 
   similar setup to the one described in the README. This will help 
   with the rating system. Send me a README for your system if you have 
   time.
4) If it works well please drop me an email to tell me of your success.
   This will motivate me to keep updating the collection and it will 
   help me to rate the example you used. Send me a README for your 
   system if you have time.

thanks,
