Modular X does create its own version on the fly, but it's better to have the file in /etc/X11 in case of further change. On the raw console (outside X) I ran 'Xorg -configure', which created a version in my home dir, which needed a couple of tweaks to recognise my mouse & get the display the correct size, in fact just the changes I had to make when I started 031006 ! So now on to kernel 2.6.18 & getting Nvidia acceleration working again. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You are saying that X is working, right? In that case the log file will show you can see where it finds the config file: # grep "Using config" /var/log/Xorg.0.log (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" My bet is on /root/xorg.conf ... > Is xorg.conf no longer essential ?
