Adding "terminate" option to Xorg builtin config throws error

I'm sure it's because I've done something wrong, but at least I went to the wiki first

Xorg starts without xorg.conf, so I copied it out of Xorg.0.log, which gives me the following (which doesn't make sense, because I use nvidia, not nv, and nvidia isn't in one of the screens... but anyway):

Section "Device"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default nv Device 0"
        Driver    "nv"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default nv Screen 0"
        Device    "Builtin Default nv Device 0"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default vesa Device 0"
        Driver    "vesa"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default vesa Screen 0"
        Device    "Builtin Default vesa Device 0"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0"
        Driver    "fbdev"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default fbdev Screen 0"
        Device    "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0"
    EndSection
    Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default Layout"
        Screen    "Builtin Default nv Screen 0"
        Screen    "Builtin Default vesa Screen 0"
        Screen    "Builtin Default fbdev Screen 0"
    EndSection

Where do I add the appropriate line? I had tried making an InputDevice section for the keyboard, and that didn't work out so well

Thanks in advance.

Re: Adding "terminate" option to Xorg builtin config throws error

Is your X config working fine otherwise? As for the nv vs nvidia, you may want to use the nvidia-xconfig tool to generate an xorg.conf for you:

And for the terminate, do you mean using ctrl+alt+backspace to exit X? If you are using HAL, try editing the policy:

This is the most fscked up xorg.conf I have ever seen.

Tried that. I've tried hwd, too (worked before, but I forgot to save my xorg.conf when I reloaded Arch. *is sad*).

Tried that before I came here, no luck Wiki says I can put the setxkbmap line in a script that is timed to work with KDM, but I don't know how to do that.

This is the most fscked up xorg.conf I have ever seen.

I agree

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Take care
