I fixed by using the following method. Opened the properties and set the screen resolution. Opened firefox and downloaded the old xorg.conf I sent you earlier. Logged out and then back in as root. Used kate to copy the screen layout from the downloaded file to the active xorg.conf file. Saved and restarted x. Believe it or not, I did need you to walk me through the process. There were quite a few things I wasn't able to notice on my own. Thanks a lot and all that. --- On Thu, 11/5/09, Daniel C. Dowse <dcdowse@gmx.net> wrote: From: Daniel C.
