(a) You hand-edited it to make it not work. Try hand-editing the file to make it back the way is was. (b) I believe the configuration tools watch for people who hand-edit the X configuration file, and refuse to damage the careful hand-tuning you've done. So there is something you have to do to tell it that it's OK to replace the hand-tuned version with a machine-generated one. I think it stores a checksum somewhere to detect the change. Unfortunately I don't remember just what it is you have to do. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
