I have a BIG problem. Need help!
 

I was installing the schneider digital drivers and I made a huge mistake in the configuration. I put the wrong monitor refresh rates in and now when it trys to load I just get a blank screen. I'm now at init 3 and I installed the driver again, but when I try to run fglrxconfig again it tells me that the command is not found. I need to re-run this so I can get a working x-config on. Any ideas what I can do?

What is fglrxconfig, never heard of that one before. I'm not sure of the Mandrake config tool they use nowadays you can run but if X is installed, you can run xf86config as root at the command to configure X at a console.

In the future, please use better and more helpful thread titles. Your's doesn't describe your specific problem. And of course we know you need help apparently since your posting a question. Regards.

fglrx is the configuration for X for Radeon cards. I can't run xf86config either. I think I need to tell it what directory the program is in, but I don't know where it is. I googled but couldn't get anything useful. Thanks to anybody who can help me out here.

Sorry about the thread title.

Why are you googling, use the command find or locate??

find / -name fglrx*

And are you logged in as root? If not, most likely these commands are already in your path, so you wouldn't have to type something like /sbin/command-name and so on....

Use the "locate command. keeping in mind the fact that Linux is case-sensitive.

locate fglrx
locate XF86Config

You are logged in as root or becoming root with "su -" (as opposed to just "su"), right?

Thanks a lot guys. I forget to Su to root. Even after running linux for a few weeks I still forget the little stuff. In time I'll get it down. Thanks for the quick responses.

It's always the little things that sneak up from behind to bite you in the....

:p

hi
