hello all, dear matthew!
where is XFree86.config? i know where to find it in debian, but where do i find it in DSL? i got DSL v3.0 with 2.4.26 #1 SMP kernel.
in /etc/X11 i find the following links :

X -> /KNOPPIX/etc/X11/X
rgb.txt -> /KNOPPIX/etc/X11/rgb.txt
rxvt.menu -> /KNOPPIX/etc/X11/rxvt.menu

and the directories app-defaults, Xresources and fonts. i looked as well thru those but no XFree86.config.
am pretty interested in the XFree86.config since the DSL is on a Thinkpad 600E.
do i have to search more carefully or is there another trick?

greetings,
burkie

By default, DSL does _not_ use nor include the full XFree86.

Please see XFree86.*.info in myDSL for the use of this config.

DSL does not contain XFree86.
This topic has been moved to the MyDSL System extension section.
