Hey!  blue is back!  thanks...

I have debian/sarge and have the two files:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and /etc/X11/xorg.conf but AFAICS only
/etc/X11/xorg.conf is used.

if I use an initial runlevel 2 (no X) and startx: the system does
not start X correctly.  but I usually don't use runlevel 2.  

what I did to get it back was simply substitute the Driver string
"fbdev" by "ati" and leave the rest as it was.  went to runlevel 2,
noticed that problem, got back to runlevel 3 and everything was back to
normal.

now I have again a problem with the screen being too small for the
picture, some 5 pixels above and below, 8 on the left and 8 on the
right, more or less...  will fix that sometime...

thanks again,
Mario
