No (smile)! Apparently, it creates its own file on the fly. |
| 20 |
Quoting from the log file : |

New driver is "nv" |

when there follows a fairly good imitation of xorg.conf (grin). |

The whole log file is 748 lines. |

I take it you mean "Yes, it is no longer essential" ... (smile) |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
So any advice from anyone: should I 'xorgconfig' (whatever it's called) |
| 54 |
or copy the old xorg.conf from my back-up /etc/X11-mono/ |
| 55 |
or just leave things as they are ? |
