silver-dagger Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 You need to use a text editor like pico, nano, or vim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trpn Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 easy way rm /etc/X11/XF86Config redhat-config-xfree86 that should let you get back into X by just letting red hat detecting your hardware (I am assuming you use red hat from your other posts in other topics) Then start over doing whatever you were doing. if you don't want to do that tell us what video card you have, your monitor, etc etc and post your XF86Config file that you cannot get to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
