If i may point out that XFre86-4.x.x "does" use XF86Config, it will use it as default "if" no XF86Config-4 is found. I use XFree86-4.2.0 on one machine here and i "dont" have a -4 file. It is documented and it was decided to make XFree86-4.x.x look for both files to make it backwards compatable. Another handy hint is that XFree86-4.x.x now writes a complete log of every boot into /var/log called XFree86.0.log (if .0 is found then it will be .1) and so on. You can see what config file is used in that log file + so much more than the old way of capturing its output at starttime. (But i dont think i needed to tell Ray that) i just wanted to make a point of the "-4" thing. The rest of the excelant stuff snipped. -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
