Kind of the same as clicking file/save vs. clicking exit and then yes to save changes in a GUI app. Regards, Str8 On Sun, May 5, 2013 at 9:18 PM, Jose Lopez <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, I just want to thank Str8bs for sharing that last > > nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf. > I have the IMac G3 333 Mhz tray loading it is one of the first ones.
