Running Etch on a i386, I switched monitors and ran "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"; but the system returned an error message, saying that the configuration file would not be written because it had been customized.
Another problem is that the configuration routine would not allow me to specify monitor parameters (horizontal synchronization rate, vertical refresh rate, desired resolutions). I tried also "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and had the same result. Next, I deleted "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and again ran "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", but X would not start. Is there a way to regenerate "xorg.conf"? What is the proper procedure to follow when swapping out a monitor? RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
