This worked!! Thank you very much, I was beginning to get worried. I have everything
back to normal now on the Linux side:) I've learned a lot from this little foray
into /etc/X11/XF86Config but one of the things is I had forgotten was how annoying
windows 95 can be. I kept getting these mini crashes and freeze ups. Copy and paste
takes more steps. I won't go on.
Thanks,
Kent
