[ XF86Config file deleted ]
Check to make sure that you have the right file. When I ran the
auto-XF86 config program I ended up with /etc/X11/XF86Config and
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config as separate files and I think that
/etc/X11/XF86Config needed to be linked to the later. It confused
the hello out of me while I was trying to get it working.
