Yes, Gene, but you have to do it _every_ _time_.  This is tedious, and anyhow 
I sometimes forget.  

The only workable permanent solution appears to be the xorg.conf one, but I 
was physically unable to test this last time I was trying.  My present set-up 
is not going to be permanent, so I am leaving it alone and cursing when I 
forget.  But once I have reinstalled Wheezy instead of Jessie, I shall write 
an xorg.conf in order to have this working.

Do you feel like sharing your xorg.conf please, "deloptes"?  And if you do, 
could you copy me in with a private copy??  

Emails from you via the TDE list don't reach me, and the list robot complains 
that I am bouncing things and threatens to kick me off the list.  Emails you 
send to the Debian list reach me, so I don't know what is going on.
