Hi Dimitry,

yes, thanks for the hint... 915resolution -l is not showing my
1280x768... ?? Or I didn't understand how 915resolution works (that's
why I posting to newbies and not to [EMAIL PROTECTED] now) I have tried
both, giving a mode that I don't use and giving the right one, just in
case of but in both cases it doesn't work...

Anyway, actually it's possible that even the patch is working but as
of now nothing happens because xorg cannot start. I have the feeling
that I need to manually edit the table and add the 1280x768 so that
xorg can do it

But now I don't know where xorg.conf is!

I was looking in the usual place (for a linux user /etc/X11/) but it's not there

locate shows

elachistos% locate xorg.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg
/usr/X11R6/man/cat5/xorg.conf.0

What is this /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg ? Is is an example? Which
configuration file is reading xorg? Is it xorg.conf.eg? Why the .eg
extension?

thanks for your patience,

Pau
