Wheres the XF86Config file?


Recommended Posts

I just got some advice from some guy on how to fix a problem with my linux distrib (Fedora Core 2 test1) but I can't find this file that he states:

I had this exact problem.  It was a problem with the radeon xfree86

driver and my radeon 9800.  The man page for the radeon driver only

claims support up to r350 (9700) cards. Not r360 (9800) cards.  Maybe

not radeon 9600's either.  But adding "ChipID 0x4E46" to my XF86Config

makes the driver think I have a 9700 and x works right again.  From

what I've read, only certain drawing operations trigger the lock up.

Anyone know the location and name of the file in linux? Thanks.

If you get stuck on something like this again, try the command

locate filename

and let Linux do the lookup for you! ;)

(this assumes that updatedb has been executed at some point, preferably recently, on your PC. Most distros will put it in cron to be executed on schedule)
