Thanks Jim, that seems promising, although time consuming (sure wish had a faster connection for downloading those live cds). Any recommendations on which to try? Small distributions preferred... I have a Bondi (I think) tray-loading iMac, which is not that uncommon. Maybe someone here has a working xorg.conf? I was thinking it was not just a config issue since xorg.conf was using the "vga" driver, which I'd expect to be reasonably generic. The segfault isn't a great sign. XF86CONFIG_FILE is the option, it seems. If I set that will running "startx" know to use the custom config automatically? From Goggle seems that there can be more than one custom config -- not sure I folow that. > Good luck. I'm sure hoping.
