The problem I'm having now is that they make some assumptions about what my config file looks like and I'm having trouble reading between the lines. the first time I guessed at what I needed, it started to come up but died. I wonder if I might be wiser to use XF86configurator to make fresh one, but what tool do I use to configure XF86config-4? it seems the old tools just modify the old one. It has been quite awhile since I've fooled with the old manual way of doing things. :) Since they have gone to 4.x of Xfree I've not kept up. > I agree that this way is so much easier, and it works no matter what > version or kernel you are running. -------------------------------------------------------
