Yuck. My xorg.conf had been working perfectly for years*, until I decided to move the cards about in their slots (in order to troubleshoot a completely different problem). Now I discover that I have to learn how to use some new configuration application, which doesn't appear to be intelligent enough to use my (still valid and usable) old settings or allow me to manually override it. I'm not a fan of user-friendliness that dis-empowers the user, I would save up and buy a Mac if I wanted that! Grumble, moan ... * The PC in question is approximately 10 years old, well, most of it is; and all the components are still supported. I don't mean to shoot the messenger, thanks for the information Gustin. I think a brief overview of X configuration with pointers would be a useful addition to the 64 Studio documentation to help users whose monitor / video card set-ups are not automatically configured correctly or indeed, have unusual and interesting monitor set-ups. Anyone? cheers, tim _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
