Certainly.... I've attached: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" to this reply.

One thing I should perhaps mention. How my copy of edgy got here...

Breezy was installed from cd. Then I edited /etc/apt/sources.list
and used "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get the dapper system where this
still worked. Then I recently was motivated by a new printer to again
use "apt-get dist-upgrade" to update that dapper to this edgy... 

That's when it stopped working. <sigh>

By the way, where are the keybindings of <ctrl>+<alt>+<+> and
<ctrl>+<alt>+<-> set to do this anyway? I still have a copy of the
original breezy install (cloned via tar) on my pc. The shortcut
still works there, But I can't find where it's so assigned...
