Hmm..
Do you mean /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf
I don't have anything in the /etc/X11 directory...
And I thought that is where X11 got its know-how on how
to initialize....
I will try moving the one I have out of the way.. in fact
thinking about it.. I did not regenerate this (with the
config program) but copied it from my old disk.. but of
course even if its bad it should not crash the kernel.
