Thanks, Christian.  

My first reaction to the new layout was WTF? My AC3 install still uses
the old system, at least far as I can tell. I never had any occasion to
use the command line to fix the X server in that version, but it does
have the /usr/X11R6 directory and the configuration file (xorg.conf) is
in the usual place.  

Incidentally, the documentation on the Xfree86.org web site does not
reflect the new system either.  I wonder if this will cause problems for
CAD and GIS programs?  GRASS i think especially makes a lot of calls on
the X server.
