To change it, you can either re-run one of the XFree cofiguration programs, or manually edit that file. xf86config is one such program. You can also run "X -xf86config " to have XFree automagically create a config file based on what it probes, but if it's incorrectly detecting your hardware, that could be the problem you're having now. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
