As I needed it the first time around with the new Xorg. But I hadn't imagined I would require any outside helpers on STABLE. :( Anyway. I managed to get a working xorg.conf.new running against Xorg -config. So I added only what I thought I absolutely needed to /usr/local/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and fired up startx with my chosen DE in .xinitrc. Only to find I _still_ had no mouse, nor control of the WM. My only recourse was to bounce the box. :-( I had to scrub the pool, and blow away all the X related things in ~/ && try again. I was finally successful after creating the following 4 files: server-layout.conf Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" Option "Log" "sync" EndSection driver-nvidia.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:2:0:0" EndSection screen-layout.conf Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" EndSection keyboard-zap.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "KeyboardDefaults" Driver "keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection Altho the keyboard-zap.conf is probably unnecessary. I added it in hopes of being able to bail out as opposed to bouncing the box. I can't believe what a disappointment X has become. It's almost a different incantation for every install. I'd understand on CURRENT/release. But not on STABLE. I'm very grateful for your lending a hand, Mark. I don't mean to point any of my frustration at/towards you. :-) Thanks, again! :-) --Chris > > mclhelp
