Xorg fails to start without a manually created "Section Modules" in config ========================================================= see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41208 6. "Thank you" to opensuse: ===================== 11.3 has the last reliable Xorg version for my hardware, 11.4 crashes/locks and 12.1 has render problems ... a good way to increase the number of people that use and test the git master tree ;-)) cu, -knut
