Hi, I was experimenting with the monitor configurations, and now when I boot I can't start in graphical mode! I am taken back to a text-only login, and if I login and try 'startx' I get the error below. One of the things I tried was to try to allow for a normal crt monitor along with the laptop screen. Is that the problem? How do I get back to normal??? Thank you very much! I put here both the error and the config file: THE ERROR: X Window System Version 6.8.2 Release Date: 9 February 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.2 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.9-1.906_ELsmp i686 [ELF] Current Operating System: Linux junia.chem.ksu.edu 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 #1 Thu Apr 7 19:23:49 EDT 2005 i686 Build Date: 24 March 2005 Build Host: tweety.build.redhat.com Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.
