by Please help, I've been working on this for 3 days now. I think that I've read
too much and can't absorb much more.
I ran xf86config-XFree86-3.1 to produce my config file and then ran X -probeonly.
If any additional info is needed, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
(Q1) How do I capture the output from X -probeonly to a file?
(Q2) How do I resolve the "dimensions" problem below?
