Hi Folks! Finally I was able to get X running and it's running well.. like they say in Bangalore - "Bombaat"!! The problem was that I had duplicate copies of XF86Config files - one in /etc and the other in /etc/X11. I have no clue how it got there (I didn't do it!!) but I am glad it all worked out finally. Thanks for your help Shankar! Ashwin. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Linux India Mailing List Archives are now available.
