Hi,

Unfortunately it did not work. It hung after the lightdm stop it seemed.
So I did

sleep 3
service lightdm stop
sleep 2
service lightdm start

and it seemed to go through the commands in rc.local but the same result
as a boot with the xorg.conf discussed added in /etc/X11. happened - no
difference..
