[KLUG Members] Okay, dumb X question.

[Adam Bultman]

I fixed, it, but it brings me to feel not all that good about the whole
xf86config program.

I got the tarball off the beehive CD, unpacked it, and put things in their
proper place.  Things still didn't work. So, ticked off, I just removed
the XF86Config file.  Then I re-ran xf86config prog and did the same thing
to the resulting XF86Config file I do every time. Then it worked.  <sigh>.

Anyway, beehive is pretty slick. It's a pain (i.e. you have to set a lot
of things up yourself, things come broken sometimes) but it's quite nice.
I got DVDs, Mplayer, aviplay and all that jazz working pretty quickly. The
only thing I don't have working is NFS from my RH box to this box, which I
am still working on.  Oh, well.  That's this week's chore.  until then,
it's smbfs to the rescue.

Thanks for the help, but I guess I somehow had a dumbass attack.  Again.
