Waynel, the modern Xorg doesn't actually need much of configuration, thus instead of "guessing" and breaking it with a wrong file, it's shipped with none at all and is left to auto-configure at run time. The method to generate the file is as following: 1. Drop down to command line mode (from dtlogin -> Sessions -> Command line) 2. /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure 3. If (2) is successfull, you'll now have a xorg.conf.new in current directory. 4. Edit it as required, and put it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf If you need a particular resolution and X doesn't seem to give you. Try /usr/X11/bin/gtf WIDTH HEIGHT REFRESH it will spit out a ModeLine, which you can paste to the Screen section (of course, first removing the modeline that is there for that resolution, if any). No idea why the touchpad isn't working... very wierd as its supposed to act just like a PS2 mouse (most[all?] Synaptics touchpads do) which shouldn't be a problem. Btw, I was just about to buy the a dv9k. Great portable workstation!! My research showed that it was about 100% compatible with Solaris... nothing too exotic. Not sure why you're having so many problems. Can you post output of "/usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v" ? - Akhilesh - Akhilesh This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
