Uh... guys, Mike Harris pointed out that as root, this is the expected behaviour. man xorg.conf shows that $HOME/xorg.conf is used in preference to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It doesn't cover why this might happen when starting as a normal user although /usr/bin/Xorg is setuid root which might play into this. -Toshio
