Sorry about the empty answer, it's late and my fingers don't obey that well... Please instead of panicking post your XF86Config (in linux one finds it in /etc/X11 possibly not in OpenBSD in that case I would look first in the home directory then in /usr/X11R6) and your log (usually /var/log/XFree86.0.log) also do an X -version just to be sure of what you are running. I am not very knowledgeable with OpenBSD and don't know whether it creates a few XF86Config like some other distro... You have a readme for OpenBSD on the www.XFree86.org page (select the docs and follow links) If you want to regenerate your XF86Config, they advise xf86cfg but since you have problems you could also try X -configure personnaly I would try to hack the file myself, it is not that difficult. Main issue: if you have more than one such file be sure you are hacking the one X uses (it should be identified in the log) Lionel
