Just for grins, I moved /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of the way on a system here and xdm will startup, say it can't find the file, id the gfx chip, and then do some default settings. I was able to login after the second boot (this systems drive is going out). It set the monitor in [EMAIL PROTECTED] mode. Glxgears even works. So it seems Xorg will try to do the right thing even if it can't find the conf file. Bob -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
