I still have a xorg.conf file here. May have to test removing it one |
| 22 |
day. I also have a file in the xorg.conf.d/ directory. After it reads |
| 23 |
my file, will it also read the file in the directory or does it ignore |
| 24 |
anything else since I have the old file? The file is named 20opengl.conf. |

I seem to recall trying to run without it ages ago and something not |
| 27 |
working. Can't recall what it was since it was a good long while back. |
