I think xorg has the ability to probe for itself. There may also be an ubuntu script to help create the initial file. One thing to try is remove your xorg.conf file, and start x, then look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what xorg probed for and found. regards, -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <A HREF="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</A> </BODY> </HTML>
