i have recovered it probably 10 times because while editing it i just x'd out and i guess that is wrong because it seems to be saving it... hmmm
i have been looking for a reason to wipe it and restart.... i only have this on my 20 gigger and i should be putting it on my main drive... i will do as you say after i rebuild on my 80 thank you!!!!

Loging and type startx.

If nothing happends try alt-F7.

This is the limit of my knowledge sorry. I've gone through everthing I know for Redhat.

I have a how to. It's really for Mandrake 9.1 but should work. Also note, if you have a /etc/XF86Config-4 file you should edit it. If not edit the /etc/XF86Config file. Here's the link:

Hope this helps. That 'vi' editer is pretty tuff for a newbie. It almost beat the crap out of me and I had a book telling me how to use it.
