It says the file or folder does not exist. wtf? It was all typed just like you had it. No luck. Any other ideas?

I'm running redhat 8.0 and it works, maybe they changed it for RedHat 9.0?

Remember, it is case sensetive, so XF86Config is different from xf86config.

Hmmm, guess I can try again.
If you guys got any other ideas that would be great! Thanx

Try

Code:

/usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config

It is possible that the command is not in your PATH.

OK, we'll try one more thing before we rebulid your XF86COnfig file by hand. as root, type

Code:

updatedb

. You'll hear the harddrive kick in for a while as it catalogues all the files on your HD. Once it has returned you to a prompt, type

Code:

locate xf86config

and see what the output is. If you do have the xf86config build script installed, then locate will help us find the executable. Locate will probably find 5 or 6 different files with xf86config in the name, one of them will be something similar to

Code:

/usr/X11/bin/xf86config

or

Code:

/usr/X11/xf86config

. This is the path that you will want to use to execute the command. So if it shows up in

Code:

/usr/X11/xf86config

then type that on the command line as root and it should run the script.

Well, probly wasn't worth all the trouble, it works with every other monitor, next time I'll bring mine or hook up a better one.

Thanx for all the help though.
