[ydl-gen] YDL 6.2, pared down gnome, and an iBook G4 1.33ghz

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Jason:

The xorg.conf file you are interested in is generated either
according to settings chosen within anaconda prior to YDL booting for
the first time or as YDL boots for the first time and allows one to
set up the user/root accounts as well as the monitor settings.  I
don't recall which. Of course, xorg.conf is also modified when you
change the monitor settings.

My xorg.conf follows here:

=========================================
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "single head configuration"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
	Option	    "OffTime" "10"
EndSection

Section "Files"

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
