I am presented with this error: Using config file: "/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" Parse error on line 1 of section (null) in file /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d "" is not a valid keyword in this section. xorg.conf.d is an empty directory. Not sure what would have gone wrong, X has been configured and working properly on this VM for several weeks. If I : rm /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf then reconfigure Xorg and run (as root): Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new, I get the black screen on pty9 and no errors. Copy the new config to /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf, get the same error as before -- parse error on /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/... What may be going on? Thanks in advance. Joshua Lokken
