I'd guess you haven't removed everything you need to remove. At the top you'll have something like: # $Id: XF86Config,v 1.9 2002/12/21 01:36:35 grog Exp $ Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection You obviously have to remove the corresponding Screen line. Then remove the corresponding Screen section. Assuming it's Screen 0, you'll find: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "left" DefaultDepth 24 (etc). Remove that, the Device section identified with Card0 and the Monitor section identified with "left". Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
