Angry GUI Config


HELPPPPP!!!!!!!!

I am not new to Linux..... Me and Linux go a long way back, but me and Linux GUI Do Not ! I just got a new linux sys and installed, but I want to use the GUI, because that y i bought it. I bought it to use the GUI because i saw that intriguing......


The real problem, which i can't seem to fix is in the configuring step... Once I pick a monitor, the thing freezes , and refuses to start in XWindows .... IT says my monitor is wrong, but It also won't let me reconfig either..... Is there a Special way to reconfig the XWindows system from the Text prompts? Please email me the command if there is. alienmindsinc@wmconnect.com

If there isn't I'm going back to my old friend Linux without the GUI.

I am having this problem also

I have a felling if I get the newest rpm for X windows that it will fix the problem. Try that

xf86config should be available on all systems with X
XF86Setup might also exist.
A Red Hat or Mandrake system will probably have Xconfigurator

(case sensitive and I might have got the second one slightly wrong)
