There is nothing wrong with that xorg.conf file, it works just fine. Tip: when requiring assistance of this nature, you absolutely have to supply the error messages from the console or from the logs. It is almost impossible to assist you without knowing what X said it thinks is wrong with the file. So, try again with this config file and if it fails have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the error messages - they are the lines starting with (EE) Also, there is no "new format" for this file. It still works exactly the way it always did, with the sole exception that when using hal, the InputDevice sections are not needed. Simply delete those parts, or comment them out. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
