[mythtv-users] xorg.conf for Epia SP13000

[Sean Covel]

Guys,

Thanks for the help.  I finally figured it out and could kick myself. 
Turns out at some point I had copied the xorg.conf into the root 
directory (saving it just in case) and from then on X was using the 
xorg.conf in that directory.  No matter what I changed in 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, it didn't matter.

I finally noticed in the log that it said it was using /root/xorg.conf 
and the light bulb turned on.  I deleted that one, and now X is up and 
running.  Again, thanks for the help!
