Hi Greg, I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log. The file starts the same as yours. But the line that on your system says : (==) Using config file: "/etc/XF86Config" Says on mine : (EE) Unable to locate/open config file It seems that my system uses default values instead. And KDE starts up OK. Is there a reason why I should consider creating a config file anyway ?
