Agreed, xorg now works pretty well by itself most of the time, but without my screen and monitor sections this computer gives me a black screen and nothing else, hence the extra bits. All my other machines work great without a xorg.conf file, but they use free drivers. After reading your message I tried removing this legacy sections and it failed again. >> using the proprietary NVidia driver which isn't a priority for Debian >> developers > > That was certainly the case some time ago, but not anymore.

It has happened in the past that non-free drivers lagged a bit behind a xorg version bump, and since they are non-free software I wouldn't blame anyone in Debian for this if it happened again. Today it's true that they are kept in sync and up-to-date with an amazing efficiency. Awesome work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
