Hello new xorgserver users
According to the recent xorgserver upgrade to 1.6.1 I've got blackscreen eachtime I started X. The only way to solve that problem (I'm driving a nvidia desktop) was to replace nvidia driver with xf86-video-nv and no use xorg.conf anymore (otherwise X crashes).
But ctrl+alt+backspace miss me
And I try to use a minimal xorg.conf with the only three lines :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
X crashes on start, my Xorg.0.log :

some archers use this minimal xorg.conf. Why can't I ?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Hy wonder
The wiki says "ServerFlags"...
Anyway, the ServerLayout give me (xorg.0.log) :
Parse error on line 2 of section ServerLayout in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Unexpected EOF. Missing EndSection keyword?

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "no"
EndSection
this is from my xorg.conf - afaik serverflags works fine.
check for any strange invisible chars - retype your xorg.conf in nano or similar..

And the winner is... schuay, thks !
Retyping the tree lines on xterm : $ sudo nano... did the trick ! Or maybe "no" rather than "false", who knows
Maybe I can try reuse nvidia driver with this new brand xorg.conf
