So I did and it made a HUGH xorg.conf.new file. With instructions to try it out by:

X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

Well that brought up X but no window open and left or right mouse did nothing. So back to <cntl-alt-F1> and I see messages about VNC mode (I have vncserver configured but not running), so it ws trying to do something to accomidate vncserver if I should start it up?

And there are sections in the new xorg.conf that are not in the current. Like one for the mouse, a files section and the like, so I figured i would cut and paste, but first....


Of course it helps to read the relevant documentation :o)

I just indicated this method which I've been using for all the years on Linux. I began on Slackware, where there is (almost) no configuration helper, so you have to read the docs. There's no way around it. And when I switched to other distros (like CentOS), I simply kept the habit of configuring things by hand.

IIRC, I spent much time with the FreeBSD documentation about the graphical server. It's really well done, explaining everything step by step. But then, it's not something you can learn quickly in a matter of minutes. It takes some time, but it's worth it.

Have fun,

Niki
