Okay, I give. I'm having a problem with configuring xorg.
I *do* have a basic configuration, but can't run some applications in
full screen mode and I surmise this is because something isn't set
properly in xorg.conf I ran Xorg -configure and it did give me a basic
configuration, but the file is nothing like I am used to from before I
had to rebuild my system and I can't find an xorg.conf.example file - I
don't know if I accidentally deleted it or not.
In particular, this is the stuff that I don't understand and without the
xorg.conf.example file, I have no means of reference.

I also tried using xorgcfg, but I didn't even get a working
configuration with that and I *do* know my monitor settings.
Also, the man page for xorg.config isn't any help cause it doesn't
mention any of the stuff like "viewport" that I could see.
I've re-emerged xorg-x11 hoping to get the xorg.conf.example file back,
but that didn't work.
So, if any of you kind people can lead me by the nose here and/or let me
know how to get the xorg.conf file back I would appreciate it.
The frustrating part here is the before I screwed up my system, I had
everything related to x working just fine.
I don't know if it will make any difference to you, but my max monitor
resolution is 1280 X 1024. Horizontal sync is 30 - 81 KHz. Vertical is
56 - 75 Hz.

Colleen
