Whenever I tryed the X automatic installer, it fucked up on me. every time.
Stupid part is: if xorg installer had just used the file that was installed
before it would most likely have worked as is.
Hopefully you still have the previous file (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4). You should
just use that, and copy to xorg config file, which is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
The only thing I ended up changing was :
- Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
+ Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Which is obvious (if a bit silly)
