Get Black Screen at Boot But Recovery Mode then Resume Works OK


Hi,

using Xfce Mint 17.

I need an xorg.config file for my system to work and I have one that works.

But if I normally boot into Linux I get a black screen - nothing happens. But if I select the recovery mode option and then do "resume" I get the expected desktop which obviously is configured by xorg.conf nicely.

How do I get xorg.conf used when I normally boot (that's when selecting the top "normal" timed option above the recovery mode option)?

Like I said doing recovery mode then resume gets a good boot...normal boot goes to black.

Thanks

did you copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
