is there a program to automatically make xorg.conf files
I am using Fedora Core 3 and a Nvidia video card. I need to make a xorg.conf file, but I am very bad with code. I just had to reinstall linux because I messed up with the code the first time. Anyone have any suggestions for an program (I don' t think that Fedora comes with one) that generates xorg.conf files?

it will create the file for you... make a backup of files before you edit them.

when you install it, it generates the script so that it can run. You do not need to write it. You will need to edit it to get the Nvidia card going, but that is a very small edit.
You can use the graphical tools on Fedora to change setting and it writes them to the xorg file. |

you do not need to touch the .log file... why do you need to edit the xorg.conf file? This will give me a better idea of what you are trying to do.

to install nvidia you need to download the driver from their site... choose the first one.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html you also need to make sure you have the source code for the kernel... then drop to run level 3 and run the driver #sh NV.... whatever the name is (press the tab key to autocomplete) when you are done you edit the xorg.conf file easiest way is to type #vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf where the section is about your driver.. press 'i' on your keyboard (insert) and change "nv" to "nvidia" then press esc then :wq then type startx |
