No, that's not quite right. I just reran xf86config on my 1.1 box with 3.1.2 XFree tonight. When it's nearly finished, the script asks if it's o.k. to save the configuration as /etc/X11/XF86Config and says that is the standard in Debian. If I'm right you also have a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg as an example config file installed with XFree. Don't know if that is of any use with your hardware. > Have you tried rerunning xf86config, or the better XF86Setup program Find the booklets with your monitor and videocard specs (sorry, RTFM) and run xf86config. That should get you started, I hope. Joost
