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 wer= e 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 wrote: From: Daniel C.
