I'm afraid my talents and knowledge with Linux are extremely light. They extend only as far as parts of the installation and administrative processes (like sudo). I don't know if XFree86 4.6.0 exhibits the same problem.

I'm > looking forward to the replies! You talk of an xorg.conf on an XFree86 mailing list. Does XFree86 4.6.0 exhibit the same problem?
