Hallo : -
Not trying to take it beyond basiclinux but just to say that I'd always
a long, boring and uncertain plod with XF86Config and thought that was
how life was meant to be, each and every time. Then I blundered into
XF86Setup (watch the upper/lower cases in that word), which is so much
easier to understand and you only have to attend to the bits you want to
change. That's how I see it now anyway; of course its bound to be
using more resources of every sort, being as graphical as it is; sorry
if I raise any hopes and if its after all incompatible with BL?
