The thing that has changed is that it is no longer required. In most cases, X works fine with no configuration, but there are many reasons to have one. Your case may be one, but any of that type of thing may be handled on a per-user or per-session basis with commands in .xinit such as xset(1) or xrandr(1). An obvious use for xorg.conf is to add fonts or change the behavior of the graphics card. My xorg.conf currently contains only 'Section "Files"' with a list of additional fonts. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
