AFAIK one of the questions debconf asks when setting up X (don't know in what exact package this question is) is: "Do you want debconf to manage your /etc/X11/XF86config-4 file" Answering NO should do the trick here. I told debconf no on that question (since I have a highly tweaked config file and unofficial SiS drivers for my laptop) and everything worked just great after the upgrade, since debconf didn't touch the file. -- Mark Janssen Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant @ SyConOS IT E-mail: mark(at)markjanssen.nl / maniac(at)maniac.nl GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 WWW Maniac.nl Unix-God.[Net|Org] MarkJanssen.[com|net|org|nl] SyConOS.[com|nl] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
