Hi all
Thanks Tony. That did the trick. XF86Config-4 is now being created.
BTW my version of XF86Config-4 does not have the text at the front telling me about using md5sum. That's why I didnt know about that. I'm using stable.
Now I have to work out why Im getting "No devices detected".

But hen I do a "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" a new XF86Config-4 config file is not written.
There are no errors during the reconfiguration, I answer all the dialogs using the default values from last time but no new config is written at the end. The config would normally be in /etc/X11 or maybe /root
I have searched with find for XF86Config-4 and XF86Config-4.new I have even tried removing any old XF86Config-4 but to mo luck.
I had the same thing happen when my XF86Config-4 file was altered by another program. From Sarge /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 # If you have edited this file but would # like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following commands as root: # # cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.custom # md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >/var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
