And --load= too :-) > As you see, passing --no-grub is not an optimized use case. :-) Thanks for the pointers! You helped to figure it out. And the system is awesome!! The only big issue I've noticed so far is: the screen resolution was 800x600 for me and xrandr didn't give any other option. "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" told me that the module for my videocard ("sis") wasn't loaded. I looked at (gnu services xorg) and found that not all available "xf86-video-…" modules are placed at "xserver.conf". Is there a reason for that? Hm, perhaps I just need to install "xf86-video-sis" package (I should have tried it before asking). Also I have a question. I usually add some custom lines to "xorg.conf". I suppose currently there is no other way to do it but to make my own xorg (slim) service. Right? -- Alex
