I just remember that the documentation suddenly seemed to start using 'Option "Foo" "Value"', so assumed that had been added in the 4.x series. It's no big deal. Syntactic sugar, indeed. I probably have cancer of the semi-colon by now. > Option "HWcursor" "false" > Option "swcursor" > Option "swcursor" "on" > Option "HW c u r s o R" "N o" > Option "SwCuR soR" > > Should all be treated identical by the X server as described in > the XF86Config manpage.

I consider myself comprehensively and thoroughly corrected. :-) Thanks, Kurt -- For your penance, say five Hail Marys and one loud BLAH! ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

It always was boolean. And "True" is merely syntactic sugar and unrequired. Option "HWcursor" "false" Option "swcursor" Option "swcursor" "on" Option "HW c u r s o R" "N o" Option "SwCuR soR" Should all be treated identical by the X server as described in the XF86Config manpage. They are case insensitive and whitespace stripped. Boolean options have several ways equivalent of indicating 1 or 0. -- Mike A.
