I still have a xorg.conf file here. May have to test removing it one day. I also have a file in the xorg.conf.d/ directory. After it reads my file, will it also read the file in the directory or does it ignore anything else since I have the old file? The file is named 20opengl.conf. I seem to recall trying to run without it ages ago and something not working. Can't recall what it was since it was a good long while back. Dale :-) :-)
