debian now uses xorg. the config file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf and is very similar to previous X config files. > I ask because Debian 3.1 failed to detect the characteristics of said > LCD displays causing some extra running around to find out why and what > to do about it.

It may be helpful to see what the old settings were. As a general rule, if it worked in sarge (3.1) it will work in etch (4.0) without trouble. This assumes the hardware is not too exotic. If it doesn't work, for some reason, the folks onthis list can definitely help, provided you give good information. A
