That doesnt look like the file in my tar or the one you posted earlier...

mine looks like this...

dsl@box:~$ od -c /etc/X11/XF86Config | head -4
0000000 S e c t i o n " F i l e s " \n
0000020 R g b P a t h "
0000040 / u s r / X 1 1 R 6 / l i b / X
0000060 1 1 / r g b " \n F o n t

Rename that file and put the one from my tar in its place.

Would it be possible to make this a .dsl extension? I imagine a lot of folks on old thinkpads would benefit.

Not just thinkpads, if you look at the chipsets XF86_SVGA supports it looks like it will accelerate the majority of hardware that Xvesa doesnt support if you have the right XF86Config :-)

My mistake. I had renamed everything so that I could start X back up. Here is the dump:

dsl@box:~$ d od -c /etc/X11/XF86Config.new | head -4
0000000 S e c t i o n " F i l e s " \r
0000020 \n R g b P a t h
0000040 " / u s r / X 1 1 R 6 / l i b /
0000060 X 1 1 / r g b " \r \n F o

I does look like my file has \r\n where your's is just \n

I'll try your dos2unix utility and report back...

Works great now. Must have been the config file in DOS format.

Maybe this will fix the problem with the mouse and keyboard locking up after the screen is closed and re-opened later.

Thanks for all your help. It really is quite noticably faster.
