An overkill solution, don't you think?
"startx" and TWM greets me with its 3 terminals, hence i m using Firefox in TWM to write this email and my mouse is working too. Heck, there is no "X11" directory in "/etc/" or "/usr".... this strange phenomenon is just killing me.
I am guessing that xorg has certain defaults it will use if xorg.conf is misconfigured, but what would I know. You could either force xorg to rebuild and hope the correct files are created.
somebody suggested me to use my "xorg.conf" file from Gentoo. so i copied that file to my system and at terminal tried this:
Xorg -config xorg.conf
and i get an error something like this:
"module pcidata not found" "can not load base modules"
Make sure your xorg.conf points to the right paths. Different distributions may have alternative locations for the same stuff. I have no idea about how gentoo has the locations setup because I do not use that distro... Confs are similar, but they will not always work without some changes.
