 Where is that XF86Config-4 file? Hello all, I had my laptop up and running but Debian would not allow it to go to any hire resolution than 800X600. I edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to allow a higher resolution. This resulted in an error that the xserver could not start. I used the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to no good luck. I then deleted any XF86Config file in the /etc or /usr but when I run the reconfigure it is still showing the old values. What do I do now? I can not get xserver to run. Thanks, Fred      |

A very common problem. It usually arises when the highest screen resolution available uses a sub-optimal refresh rate. > I edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to allow a higher resolution. > This resulted in an error that the xserver could not start. It would be necessary to see the changes you made and the error messages you received in order to help with this. > I used the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to no good luck. Did you use the "--priority=low" (or -plow") option? If not, you may not have been prompted to set the screen resolution. Also, if you've made manual changes to XF86Config-4, dpkg-reconfigure will not overwrite the file. You have to run dexconf too, if you want the changes to be applied. > I then deleted any XF86Config file in the /etc or /usr Renaming them would have been better. > but when I run the reconfigure it is still showing the old values. > > What do I do now? > > I can not get xserver to run. First try using the -plow option. If you still get errors, please report exactly what they are. PJR :-) -- alt.usenet.kooks award-winners and FAQ: <http://www.insurgent.org/~kook-faq/> |
