how to run XF86Config from the command line
 

i've posted a thread before because the monitor turns off everytime i started GUI, i was told to run XF86Config from the shell, i typed: Redhat-Config-XFree86 but the monitor turned off again! how can i run XF86Config from the shell? lead me plz so ican know what to type in the command line, plz i need help im struggling with it!!
thank u in advance

There is a command line util called xf86config Just type that in to a console. If that doesn't work try /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config

Well you could do it like he said, or But try his ways first :-)

i tried to type xf86config as a root on the command line, it doesnt work.
and there is no such directory /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config, there is /usr/X11R6/bin/xfree86, anyway i tried to run it but the same error occurs, the moitor turned off again...
i think going in vi editor is a little diificult, i dont know how to pass the parameters of my monitor through the vi editor :(
im really confused, i have a homework to do :S
i would really appreciated if you guys lead me to an easy solution, there must be one!!
thanx alot

I would try using a file editor : emacs or vim , they will allow you to edit the X86Config file, just type one of them in front of the file name you want to edit in the terminal.

xf86config is actually XF86Config - in Linux the capital letters really do matter. You could quite easily have several files which at first glance look the same but aren't: foo.bar, Foo.bar, FOO.bar, etc can all exist and be different.
