Then I guess that you will have to compile your own Xorg with the switch turned on? :-) Seriously. From what I read 'they' are trying to make Xorg better able to handle common things without a conf file. But Xorg still does use a conf file if it is exists. In other words? The dontzap that you set stays. As well as the nonfree drivers that some use and need the conf file. Relax man. You'll live longer. 8-) -- David -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
