I can offer advice about safe experimenting but I don't know anything about Xorg (you might put that in your subject line if you're looking for help in that area: e.g. Xorg configuring mouse, or something like that). In XFree86 I do the following: 1. make a copy of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (I call it XF86Config-4.good) 2. Then I mess around with XF86Config-4 to my heart's content. 3. I then restart X (clt-alt-bksp) and see what happens. 4. If all is well and my experimentation has succeeded then I keep the new XF86Config-4. 5. If X won't restart I can always change back to my original (working) version of XF86Config-4 (erasing the bad XF86Config-4 and renaming XF86Config-4.good to XF86Config-4). I assume that you can do this with Xorg but you should wait till someone actually using it responds. Cheers, Jonathan
