It is pretty crusty as it is not often used any more. I recommend removing (or moving aside) xorg.conf and just starting X. These days X is VERY good at auto-configuring. It usually "just works". Assuming that X starts (and remember that by default these days that X starts with a black screen), you can add customizations needed. My xorg.conf is very short with "files" and "modules" sections to allow me to add font directories and modules like "freetype". That's it. Note that my system is NOT using ATi grqphics, so your experience might be different. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
