Believe it or not, but it still doesn't work! I've taken your XF86Config
file and the only thing I had to modify was to comment out the
   FontPath   "unix/:-1"
line as I don't have a font server running. X then started with the
default font path which made KDE look a kind of strange, but worked.
However, after going back to VC and switching displays - my old problem
again! I must admit that I'm at my wit's end ...

Anyway, Tim, I guess that this should be a configuration problem on my
side and that the driver should be able to perform this operation. So I
will stop bothering you with that stuff from now on. ;-)

Not that I'm aware of. I got this setting by running SaX2 and have never
cared that much as all the other settings basically work.
