Try: touch /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 chown root.root /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 chmod 644 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >/var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum dpkg-reconfigure xsever-xfree86 The md5sum statement will make dpkg-reconfigure believe that it must update the file. Make sure that you use the FULL PATH in the md5sum statement, so that '/etc/X11/XF86Config-4' gets put into the .md5sum file, and not just 'XF86Config-4' Dave. -- Please don't CC me on list messages! ...
