My understanding had been that xorg-server-1.5.3 uses evdev and runs happily without an xorg.conf file. Without an xorg.conf I had keyboard and font problems -- cured by the above configuration. As an experiment, I ran the suggested command ( "aticonfig --initial" ). This added a lot to xorg.con and I then restarted X. My screen resolution dropped from 1280x1024 to 640x480 and the screen looked awful. I've returned to the short config shown above. To be honest, I don't know which display driver is in use and don't much care since the display is working fine AFAICT. David
