Then man strace for the semantics. Then strace startx. Please note that I said 'maybe' - I'm not sure if it will be useful. When/if you get an output file, open it in view or less and look for xorg.conf.d : the individual filenames aren't important, anything ending in .conf will be read, so it isn't specifically _looking_ for 10-evdev.conf, but it should read it if it finds it. If you do get an output file, I suppose that looking for evdev.conf in it should be the first step, just in case it does find it but takes a dislike to it. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
