Re: Great for Grandmas who Like to nano xorg.conf

Thanks for the comments -- one more thought.

I have my /home on a separate partition. In doing the fresh install
of Gutsy (not an upgrade) I pointed the installer that that partition,
and was able to log in as my same username/password.

But in doing that, did I carry forward settings that clobbered /
overrode my fresh new copy? I *did* notice that my desktop looked
like Feisty, not like Gutsy.

Final note: after lamely poking at xorg.conf for a few hours, I just
did anclean reinstall. This time I created a new user for myself. So
far, screen resolution and desktop style is staying put. And I did
make a fresh backup copy of xorg.conf in case my screen resolution
goes south again.
