And I'll admit that my main desktop/s xorg.conf is an INSANE mess due to an INSANELY over-complicated setup (two video cards and three monitors with different resolutions/aspects) and the fact that it's technically the same xorg.conf that started life as xfree86.conf and has just been taken apart and put together with chewing gum and toothpicks as I've upgraded my system over the past DECADE. No "auto config" has really ever been able to figure it out EXACTLY right. That said, I've found that on simple, single-monitor setups with just a plain ol' USB mouse/keyboard, all you REALLY need in anything even resembling a modern Linux distro is this: ### BEGIN xorg.conf #################### Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" EndSection ### END xorg.conf ################# It scares me a lot, but I've had that just WORK on machines with regular aspects (1280x1024 and 1600x1200) and widescreen (1400x1050 and 1920x1080) and whatever the heck aspect 1366x768 is. So my advice is try the super super super simple setup and see if that works. (: -Yaron --
