So, at the risk of spam, here it is again. You can not stop that. This is the current correct behavior. The xorg.conf reconfiguration you expect is "old school" and now your X would probably start with out even an xorg.conf file. You could try xorg -configure and see if that gives you a working video display. If it does, it will save a config file in /root. You could then try that file out like this: xorg -config /root/file. if it works, copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. For an explanation of what is current in xorg.conf see this page: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 A good read on what is current. The method you expect to see is the "old way", the way we learned, but is now defunct. HTH -- Damon L. Chesser damon@damtek.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/dchesser
