Heh, heh, heh.... Seems to be feature day... My roommate's cat decided one of my power strip needed to be turned off... Time to cat proof everything :(

However.... Didn't fix the firewall problem... It now just beeps on power up. A beep a second kind of thing.... Arch....

See you all tonight.

Tom,
I remember reading the other day that one of the changes to xfce 4 was support for xorg, I didn't think that it required it, that may be a bug (or perhaps a feature ;-).


By the way, I'll not be able to make it to freegeek tonight, I have a really obnoxious cold and I think everyone would be happier without plague. So if anyone wants me I'll be in bed.

I run KDE by default on my new Slack setup. I wanted to try the new XFCE and changed xinitrc to select XFCE. As soon as I started X, the monitor wouldn't sync -- which meant some change in the config file.

The error logs didn't help. But I noticed that X-windows stopped using XF86Config and began using xorg.conf. I discovered this when several edits of XF86Config didn't have any effect whatsoever. I edited xorg.conf and got an immediate reaction.

I would prefer that X-windows use my good XF86Config rather than xorg.conf. Does any one know how to force X-windows to use one config or the other?
