Thanks Martin for the quick reply. Here, I am posting
my conf file. We tried many changes in the same but
all in vain. Could you suggest what are the changes
needed in this file to atone the things.
I'll try installing xserver-xorg on Monday as this
being weekend and hence off here. So board is not
available right now. Till the time, can u suggest
something about this configuration file.
