Hey! blue is back! thanks... I have debian/sarge and have the two files: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and /etc/X11/xorg.conf but AFAICS only /etc/X11/xorg.conf is used. if I use an initial runlevel 2 (no X) and startx: the system does not start X correctly. but I usually don't use runlevel 2. what I did to get it back was simply substitute the Driver string "fbdev" by "ati" and leave the rest as it was. went to runlevel 2, noticed that problem, got back to runlevel 3 and everything was back to normal. now I have again a problem with the screen being too small for the picture, some 5 pixels above and below, 8 on the left and 8 on the right, more or less... will fix that sometime... thanks again, Mario -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
