Hi Armin,


# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep xorg
(**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
(**) <default keyboard>: XkbRules: "xorg"


# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep conf
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default
setting,

Would it be "getconfig"?  Why I'm not allowed to
copy
/root/xorg.conf.ne /etc/X11/xorg and run xorg.conf there?

Unfortunataely xorg.0.log is a big file.  I have no idea
where to look
at the error message on running xorg.conf.  Any suggestion? 
TIA

Hi Armin and folks,

I made further test as follow;

# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hard reboot X = [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Back Space]

exited to runlevel 3

Login : satimis
Password: xxx

$ startx

KDE started with color looking strangely and finally PC
hung.

Hard reboot and removed xorg.conf

# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
.....
FreeFontPath:FPE "/usr/XR11R6/lib/X11/Fonts/misc/"
refcount is 2.
should be 1: fixing
* end *

Any advice how to fix this problem.  TIA
