mh. X is a bitch at times...

maybe it's worth just removing all x packages and starting from
scratch... or would you like me to give it a shot?

not really. maybe i am misremembering. but it's highly prefered over
editing XF86Config by hand. unless you want to read the manpages, web,
and spend some time to get it working. it *is* possible, they say...

manpage won't help. www.postfix.org is a better start, the official docs
i mean. but postfix also takes time to learn... time and experience, and
especially many errors and user complaints. those will kickstart you ;)
(if you care. as in, if you aren't a BOFH).
