Terry Thanks. What I'm trying to achieve is to be able to switch between my normal XF86Config which runs my main monitor at 1280 X 1024 and my other XF86config which runs both monitors at 1024 X 768 as this is the highest resolution that the smaller monitor will support. This is the dualhead config, and I'd like to be able to play around with the issues I still have with this whislt still being able to have my normal setup available. So I sppose I could call the first one XF86Config_main and the second XF86Config_dualhead ? And then set up the scripts ? Could you give me a walk through on writing the scripts and where to put them ? I've not yet written any scripts. Having written the scripts at what point do I run whichever I want ?

I have done what I think you want to do in the past. After setting up two XF86configs (eg XF86config_1024 and XF86config_640) I have two scripts which link the real XF86config to either one. 1): script x1024: #!/bin/sh cd /etc/X11 su -c "ln -fs XF86Config_1024 XF86Config" 2): script x640: #!/bin/sh cd /etc/X11 su -c "ln -fs XF86Config_640 XF86Config" After running x1024 or x640 you can then run startx
Hope this is what you wanted.
