The auto configure for the XServer fails to produce a configuration that is usable by the system. Therefore, I am trying to produce a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that will work instead. My current xorg.conf attempt and the output from the XServer is shown below. FYI, I can produce a xorg.conf file that works on version 1.20.6 of the XServer using Red Hat 8.2.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks In Advance for any Help.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards,<o:p></o:p> Joe<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Here is my xorg.conf file<o:p></o:p> ====================<o:p></o:p> Section "ServerLayout"<o:p></o:p> Identifier "X.org Configured"<o:p></o:p> Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0<o:p></o:p> InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"<o:p></o:p> InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"<o:p></o:p> EndSection<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Section "Files"<o:p></o:p> ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"<o:p></o:p> FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"<o:p></o:p> FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"<o:p></o:p> FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"<o:p></o:p> FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"<o:p></o:p> FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"<o:p></o:p> FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"<o:p></o:p> FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"<o:p></o:p> FontPath "built-ins"<o:p></o:p> EndSection<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Section "Module"<o:p></o:p> Load "glx"<o:p></o:p> EndSection<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Section "InputDevice"<o:p></o:p> Identifier "Keyboard0"<o:p></o:p> Driver "kbd"<o:p></o:p> EndSection<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Section "InputDevice"<o:p></o:p> Identifier "Mouse0"<o:p></o:p> Driver "mouse"<o:p></o:p> Option "Protocol" "auto"<o:p></o:p> Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"<o:p></o:p> Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"<o:p></o:p> EndSection<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Section "Monitor"<o:p></o:p> Identifier "Monitor0"<o:p></o:p> VendorName "Monitor Vendor"<o:p></o:p> ModelName "Monitor Model"<o:p></o:p> EndSection<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Section "Device"<o:p></o:p> ### Available Driver options are:-<o:p></o:p> ### Values: : integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",<o:p></o:p> ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz",<o:p></o:p> ### <percent>: "<f>%"<o:p></o:p> ### [arg]: arg optional<o:p></o:p> #Option "SWcursor" #
