That is what my xorg.conf files looks like and I know that has to be wrong.

Am I looking at the wrong file or do I need to completly rework it?

 

I have just installed Mandriva One 2006

You should be looking at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Mandriva uses xorg and no longer uses XFree86 for the x server.

Like the others said, it would be handy if we knew what the problem is. I'm guessing you are new to Mandriva or possily to linux in general. If Mandriva One works OK then really you shouldn't need to be editing it, but then again you may indeed have a problem then please take the time to explain what your problem is and try to post the full contents of your xorg.conf file, it appears that you have only repoduced part of that file, if you need help doing this, hey just ask, well soon sort you out.

 

Oh and welcome to the board ;)

But he is using Xorg, look at the bottom line of the code he gave....as opposed to the 2nd line of the file which is totally misleading, but then again that's just a minor detail that really ain't worth the hassle of a bug report.
