<br>
</div>Sure, but the problem is that we can not tell _which_ files have been<br>
replacd by your XFree86 install - you didn't even tell us where you got it.<br>
<br>
You _could_ try "sudo aptitude reinstall ~ixorg" - it will probably do the<br>
job, but I won't make any promises.<br>
<br>
In future, you really shouldn't install non-Ubuntu software unless you know<br>
what you're doing.<br>
