Really? I've NEVER done that... and edited xorg many many times... and X always started.
... of course it should be xorg.conf.md5...
Well, I do not remember which version of SuSE it was when I found out that after manually changing xorg.conf, X would not start. I then found out that SaX modifies MD5 checksum. Since then I'm always doing it. Maybe it is not needed anymore?

It was probably something else. What I did discover tho, is that you shouldnt have a xorg.conf in root's home I once copied the original to "root's root", and X didnt seem to want to react at all to the changes i made to /etc/X11/xorg.conf no matter how i tried. When i renamed /root/xorg.conf it worked.. :) -- /Rikard Johnels
