I am new in the linux world. I know my problem is idiotic to hear since it is self created. I hv PIII1.5 GHz processor, 128Mb system with Intel845 chipset. I installed Red Hat 9(Shrek) and was running fine, unless i thought to mess up with the display. I downloaded the rpm package of i845 adapter frm intel site and run the rpm package. It terminated abnormally and on restarting the m/c GUI is not loading up, crashing everytime. Even on trying the command redhat-config-xfree86 command it says error starting xserver.Can anybody give me some solution to restore the GUi frm y shell mode??

NB: I am unable to find the file XFree86config in /etc/X11..... neither is its backup copy........

thnx in advance........

the file is supposed (usually) to be /etc/X11/XF86Config and from the commandline you can run

which asks you some questions that you need to answer...frequencies of your monitor, your preferred resolutions etc.

after you've done that, your XFree should run ok, I think. you may also try to remove the rpm package you installed, if it got somehow installed (?)...use force-switch if it's there but won't get off if it's not, then it's not and XFree's config should do the job.
