Because you upgraded from XFree86 (which uses a differently-named, but exactly similarly-configured file)? > > 2) Is there possibly another config file that my system is using?

There is a configuration utility, you know. I don't know what it's called though, as I've never used it (just renamed my XF86Config to xorg.cfg and went on from there). Oh, scratch that, it's called xorgcfg. Very logically found with a guess and a 'which'. > > 4) Would it be used, if I'm not using one now? Are you running Linux under VMWare in Windows or some such? I know nothing about that (but Dave says not, so I believe him :-) ). > Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
