31 Thanks. That got X working again, although it turned out that I have no
32 xorg.conf although there *is* and xorg.conf.example. The file I wound
33 up changing was XF86Config!!! But I'm definitely using xorg.

35 I suppose this is a last-ditch attempt to start that's used when the
36 regular config file is not found.

38 Now back to tracking down the other errors.
