[nmglug] still no screen

[Ted Pomeroy]

Brian, I have had X11 problems and did fix it by copying an edited xorg.conf
into the X11 folder. Be sure to save the non-working original by re-naming
it, just in case you needit later.
I was using an older Thinkpad, but if you know that one version of xorg.conf
worked you can copy it and use  it if it works. You note as well that you
updated 3 or 4 items. I am not sure which or what is not working. That is
why I recommend saving the original xorg.conf file by re-naming. I am not
able to speak to all the possibilities or tthe Toshiba architecture.
Good luck.  Ted P.
