Current *buntu OSes complete ignore xorg.conf it seems. In 9.04 with "Bulletproof X" the system would at least read the changes that I made to xorg.conf, but this 9.10 version seems to ignore it completely. Googling it seems that it is _supposed_ to use xorg.conf if the user puts it there even in 9.10, however, lots of people report that their changes to the file are ignored. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
