[mythtv-users] Ahh - Evil xorg and modelines

[Damian Surr]

Thanks for staying with my Steve!

It's hard to get a --logverbose 5 at the moment because the screen is 
pretty scrambled at the command prompt without X with the new xorg.conf 
file. Maybe I could boot up with the old default log file, close X swap 
config files over and then run "startx -- -logverbose 5". That might work.

Cheers
Damian
