You can, but better make copy, for instance, /etc/X11/xorg.conf-1680 or whatever is easy to remember instead of 1680, so that you can always copy back to /etc/X11/xorg.conf if necessary. That way you have comfort to change file at will, but if it doesn't work it is easy to restore to working status. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
