Hello everyone! @Alex: Thanks, I'm pretty sure that's exactly the case. Weird, I've searched for half a day and didn't catch any hint of this. (And I'm pretty sure I actually _read_ that Appendix; I probably just skipped over the TwinView parts because this is a desktop machine with a single monit

Since I don't get a crash or anything, I suppose the Xorg.0.log file isn't needed. No warnings or errors there, anyway, except the warning about ABI version (this bug is independent of it). Also, this happens regardless of xorg.conf (I'm pretty sure it happens without any xorg.conf). I've attached
