Well. I'm trying Henk's Xfree package and this problem -and some others, like a strange behavior of the Num Lock- is automatically fixed :cool:

Now the problem is other. X Is hard to configure without the xsetup.sh script... Does anyone know about a good resource to understand XF86Config-4? maybe a tool or some kinda script to assist the user? now setting X to a concrete resolution and depth is a nightmare.

I just built an extension for xf86config if you want to try it. It's not whiptail/curses script like xsetup.sh, just the old standard text, but it makes configuration as easy as answering a series of questions. You'll need to know, or guess, about refresh rates for your monitor, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.

I've got to make an info file for it and then i'll send it to ke4nt....i've got some other work to do first, though, so i'll get to it this evening.

One strange thing about X in DSL that i just noticed. There is a symlink /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb, which links to the same file in /KNOPPIX. However, this is also a symlink, pointing to /etc/X11/xkb, which doesn't exist.
I've made /etc/X11/xkb in the extension a symlink to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xf86config-xkb (right back where we started). I hope this won't present a problem for anyone.
