I'm not a fan of gnome either. I had XFCE during the lifetime of my C6 Install, and now have XFCE on my C7 install. I know XFCE isn't exactly very "modern" or "hip" "cool" etc. But it does the job, and works for me :). I like it. I had issues getting the sort order of my 3 monitors correct, the third monitor would overlap onto the second monitor and the first monitor was detected to be in position 2, so the mouse had to go the other way to reach it. (Basically, all wrong) I resolved all display issues using the following method on C6: 1) Install LightDM 2) Set LightDM as default display manager 3) Remove any "display" configuration set by Gnome/XFCE.. in case of XFCE remove ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/display.xml I'm sure gnome has a similar file around somewhere. 4) Reboot 5) Done, you should now be using xorg.conf only. Hope this helps :-). Kind Regards, Jake Shipton (JakeMS) GPG Key: 0xE3C31D8F GPG Fingerprint: 7515 CC63 19BD 06F9 400A DE8A 1D0B A5CF E3C3 1D8F
