xorg.conf. X queries your hardware for any settings not given in xorg.conf. This information is not stored anywhere, it is read from your hardware each time you start X. If you want to override anything, put it in xorg.conf. If you want to see what settings X comes up with, run X -configure and look at the xorg.conf file it creates. -- Neil Bothwick SITCOM: Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage
