XF86Config *can* be used. I've quit using it, though, because I kept getting confused about which one to edit. > I've even edited XF86Config-4 to have the same values as the Caldera system > with no luck. Why don't the values in XF86Config-4 stick? There could be another XF86Config file lying around. /var/log/XFree86.log.0 will tell you which one is being read. If you really can't figure it out, use -xf86config /this/xf86config/file to force the server to read /this/xf86config/file instead of /that/one. Kurt -- Save the whales.
