But it doesn't, even changing the xorg.conf didn't mess anything up.
This makes me think that maybe xorg isn't even using /etc/X11/xorg.conf... you wouldn't happen to have an old-ish copy of /etc/X11/XF86Config* lying around, would you? Having run into something similar before, I'd suggest that - if you _do_ have any /etc/X11/XF86Config* files kicking around - that you move them somewhere else for the purposes of testing. IIRC, one of the nice things that gentoo did with the XFree86 -> xorg-x11 switch was keep your XF86Config, and xorg'll use that if it exists, rather than it's own config file... ...but then again, I might be horribly wrong... -- [email protected] mailing list
