Certainly, it won't be perfect. But the advantage of using something
common with upstream is we can rely on the larger community to help with
addressing those bugs, and won't have to fix them independently.
I also plan to continue maintaining the current system and hopefully
fixing up whatever bugs can easily be repaired, so that it will be
available if the upstream detection system fails in some circumstances
and a fallback is required. I think you mentioned in one of the other
bugs that there are cases where xresprobe works but xorg's detection
doesn't.
