you will have to re-run the X Configurator...
you will need to know stuff like video card, video ram, monitor, monitors vertical and horizontal frequencies, etc...
just type xf86config at the prompt, and follow the on screen instructions...

I got it working but (all i mean everthing ) text and all is blue never seen that before i mean (screen, icons,text,) is blue have any 1 ever seen that

I forgot to say when i got it up and running I left it alone all was working . all the colors where right.So I let it run screen saver came on didn't think anything about it.when i moved the mouse next thing you know all text, screen, icons,all is blue did a reboot and even my BIOS boot screen had blue text LOL never seen this is weird as heck
