But that's what geometry.cfg from the current svn-version does, doesn't it?


\@ifundefined{XeTeXversion}{}{
        %% Use the "pdftex" driver (i.e., \pdfpagewidth, \pdfpageheight) with XeTeX
        \Gm at setdriver{pdftex}
        
        %% make geometry.sty believe this is valid
        \@ifundefined{pdfoutput}{
          \newcount\pdfoutput \pdfoutput=1
        }{}
}
