That's right. Except that Bill Jones just told me where I can download a default copy. I did so, repeated my attempt to reconfigure after copying the new xorg.conf to /etc/X11, and I get the same behavior. The reconfigure dialog seems normal, but the new file is not update. The modification time matches when I copied it there, not when I reconfigured, and a diff between it and the downloaded copy show no differences. > Do you have the file /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum?

Never had Xfree 86 on the system, although some console apps I have been using had brought in some x libraries. pdftotext for instance is part of the xpdf package. But I have never done a full install of any x-window-system until I did the xorg install.
