Yes; as this thread has developed it looks like XF86Config itself is not the problem. I'd appreciate more info from anyone having a problem, so we can track this down. > PS: After reading Brian Mays' message commenting on this, I > checked the ownership of XF86Config on my system. dpks -S reports > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config is owned by xserver-common in slink and > xbase in /hamm. In both cases it is a symlink to /etc/X11/XF86Config. > dpkg -S doesn't find /etc/X11/XF86Config. Per the packaging manual, XF86Config is not a conffile, because there is no reasonable default for it. /etc/X11/XF86Config does not ship with any package; it is created by hand or with the xf86config or XF86Setup tools. -- G.
