Yep. This afternoon I realized I could've just looked at the 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf on my working Ubuntu Hardy and saved myself 
from all that kludgey emailing. It is also v. definitely 
xorg.conf and NOT xorg.config. It does appear rather generic, 
however. So I'm not sure why the resolution issue has been 
solved on a Hardy machine and not an Intrepid

Weird. All the docs I've seen always refer to xorg.conf, as 
does man. I was surprised, actually, to see xorg.conf.NVidia 
listed in puppy's /etc/X11.

My next step was going to be "dpkg-reconfigure..." but I ran 
out of time this weekend. I may still get a little while after 
dinner.

Thanks. And I admire your tenacity in continuing to reply to 
this thread. It's good to know I'm not hanging out to dry on 
my own!
