Mark,
This doesn't make any sense, especially with my setup. How could I already have
an instance of an X window running? I reboot all the time (switching disks,
etc...).
Point 1. Wouldn't it use my newly edited XFree86config file when I start X, or
are you saying I have to do something special on the command line to tell it to
use that file (i.e. like editing lilo.conf and then having to #lilo)
Point 2. I haven't tried this, I'm starting a new contract on Mon (I'm an
Oracle DBA) and I have to learn how to use Oracle's new backup and recovery
utility.
