Hello Warren/Polytropon, Thanks a lot for the information. As Polytropon stated, xorg.conf is generally not needed nowadays. So I just did a startx and things worked out fine. However, this behaviour is more Windowish than Unixish. I would like to remember the -configure option for my own sake. Thanks again to you and Polytropon.
