X problems
LorKorub:
If you have a huge resolution (I.E. you can scroll the mouse off of the desktop to see the rest of the screen) you probably answered yes to 'Virtual Desktop.' Run the config program again, and answer no to that question.
Maniaman:
I can now load X. But I'm still having problems. I still have the huge resolution and virtual desktop is not enabled. I did manage to change the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x786. That didn't change the sizes of anything. It only screwed up my colors... I figure I'll run xf86cfg again. Any way to kill X and get back to the command line? ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X...
Ice-9:
Ctrl+Alt+F1, to get back to X use Ctrl+Alt+F7.
Maniaman:
Thats just sticking me at a Blank Screen...
psyjax:
Yet again, I'm glad I use OSX :D
sorry, had to say it. I'll shut up now.
EDIT:
On a related problem, my RedHat 8 box is apperantly out of commision, When my bro. attached a new monitor to it, X threw him into a hardware configuration App. in which he entered the wrong monitor type. Now X wont start at all, and there is seemingly no way to access the .conf file. Just a blank screen.
Any ideas?
