You need to list your X server on the first line of /etc/X11/Xserver, then it will work fine. I have seen this behaviour with XF86Setup too, it is a bit confusing. Probably either the wrong server or no server (XF86_NONE) is listed in that config file. > I know that 'X' is a wrapper around the chosen server but what exactly does > it do?
