Which paragraph exactly?

I started Xorg without a configuration file, except for radeonhd, where
I only enforced the driver in the configuration file via

Section "Device"
        Identifier "card0"
        Driver "radeonhd"
EndSection

I think the consensus is that there is no reason to run X with a
configuration file anymore most of the time.

Would you please elaborate what you think is wrong about my Xorg.0.log
and dmesg? Both looked fairly normal to me, also with regard to which
drivers attach to which devices.

By the way, is the correct list to discuss this issue netbsd-users@?
(However this is where the 2012 email went to, too).


Best regards,

Moritz
