I recall that 'apt-cache show xfs' mentioned it was used for other displays. I've no need for that so that's another reason to drop 'xfs'. Regarding the xfs config, *I* didn't change anything. It got borked after an 'apt-get upgrade'. I've played with my /etc/X11/fs/config file before, but it was only to change the default-resolution entry or possibly the order of the 'catalouge' entry. I do appreciate the offer for help though. On a somewhat related note, why does the /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc file specify '--100 dpi' ?? If I remove the 100dpi font package, does this file get updated ?? If so, to what ?? Regards Hall
