That is incorrect. Don't set AllowEmptyInput, just turn off AutoAddDevices. http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/aei.html > Question 1: why does "Xorg -configure" create a config file > that doesn't work the same way as just running "Xorg" ? The defaults assumed when run are different from those in the generated config file. I don't know why. > Question 2: how do I get a usable config file? Look for examples on the net. Realize that most of xorg.conf is optional now, and you can leave out sections where the defaults are correct. > Question 3: how do I get complete modeline info for what > it is currently running? Please don't mess with modelines, it should not be needed any more. Just set the resolutions desired in the Screen/Display section. If modelines are really required, get them out of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. But they almost certainly are not. > Question 5: how do I get hald to work? It's not used if you turn off AutoAddDevices or build the xorg-server port with the HAL option disabled. ---902635197-450045772-1309439469=:33308--
