I completely forgot to setup a xorg config but it ran well nonetheless. I used to have to use specific hor/vert modes for my LCD monitor. Well, now something managed to autoconfigure it all. I haven't researched this but it seems that either xorg has improved greatly or KDE goes through great lenghts to make stuff just work. So, is this xorg or KDE that does the extra mile? Dan
