Q: What do you need the custom xconfig for? You might find that life is easier if you remove the xorg.conf, switch to evdev as the input, and see what happens. If you really, really need something you can probably just handle in your .xinitrc or .Xdefaults. If neither of those will work create a barebones config with "X -configure" and add the minimum to it. xorg.conf behaves just like an attic: it accumulates things that noone wants to throw out becuse they "might be useful". Taking the time to clean the thing out -- along with your .Xdefaults, .xinitrc, .fvwm[2]rc -- is a worthwhile part of running a machine. -- Steven Lembark 3646 Flora Pl Workhorse Computing St Louis, MO 63110 lembark@wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508
