Re: XF86Config



First, the answer to each and every question you had was, "I don't know.
All I did was run XF86Setup."

To this might be added "...a couple of times trying to get it right",
which may answer why there is more than one display entry for a laptop,
but again I can't say why.

On to your specifics:

This is going to sound like a cop-out, but I have to ask: "How?" What is
this driver entry? What's the syntax? Is this the "XF86_SVGA"?

No, I'm not sure at all. I didn't "put" it there, XF86Setup did. The
only reason I hesitate to remove it is because I don't know if it's
needed.

Worse, this other "screen" section also has more than one display depth,
so it doesn't follow in my mind that it's causing the problem that I am
seeing.

I'll try adding it. Do you suggest at the begining or end of the file? I
guess I can just try both.
