I fixed the syntax, and I started getting the pixel-lines with my old XF86Config file. I have attached the output of diff after fixing the syntax. There's not much difference between the the versions of XF86Config. Earlier I wrote that I couldn't decide who I really hated, people like you who didn't have problems, or the people who consider it to be alright to send out a computer with only one manual for the entire system, specifically a tiny manual that concentrated on installing a mouse driver, and leaving the entire section on the display a mention of the chip used in the introduction. I have decided that I _really_ hate the people who send their systems out with insufficient documentation. Thanks for any help, Seneca seneca@slemish.com
