I normally stay logged in forever, even after updates. I'm both busy and |
| 2 |
lazy. However, the Xorg flurry seemed to have died down, so I took the |
| 3 |
plunge and rebooted. Oops. |

It had not re-emerged xf86-input-* for me, a case that I think should be |
| 7 |
handled automatically -- I use a source distro because I want to be able to |
| 8 |
tweak it, not so that it can force me to do so at arbitrary, inconvenient |
| 9 |
and unpredictable intervals. |

That was easily solved by searching my gmail archive, which in my case |
| 13 |
contains only the contents of technical mailing lists. Gmail seemed to me |
| 14 |
perfect for that. Others had already solved that problem, and I re-emerged. |

The bigger problem is that now Xorg is trying to display things off the left |
| 17 |
and right edges of my monitor. By adjusting the monitor I see that there |
| 18 |
are 24 pixels of stuff bleeding off the edge -- enough to lose a close box, |
| 19 |
for instance. |

|
| 21 |
My Xorg.conf does specify some details about the monitor, but no modeline. |
| 22 |
I had to put that stuff in there originally to get my preferred 1280x1024 |
| 23 |
resolution. Do I need to go back to the days of modlines? Xorg.conf is |
| 24 |
attached. |
