Most people don't know how to bisect the kernel, either. :) xorg.conf hasn't at all been deprecated, beyond autoconf and xorg.conf.d. The goal was to ensure that no-one needed an xorg.conf _by default_, which I can quite safely say we've since achieved, but xorg.conf(.d) remains as the way to tell the server your non-default requirements. Anyway, badly OT here, so. Cheers, Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
