SuSE 10.1 Dual Monitor Setup Gone Wrong


I was trying to set up my dual monitors on my radeon x550. It worked fine by default, with like both monitors displaying the same image. I went into YaST to change the setting so the desktop was on #1 and i could drag stuff to #2. I made the changes how i thought it was correct, and then ended my session to the changes could be made. Now after the session ended, it just says
Code:
lxuser login:
did i like mess up the xserver? and how can i fix this?

Thanks very much for the help!

SuSE 10.1 x86

Yes, your xorg.conf file is messed up. I don't use SuSE, but there is a text based way to reconfigure x.org was Sax

Or, you can manually edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and fix the problem, if you know where the problem is

Or, YaST may have backed up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to something like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

Or, you can try running as root 'xorgconfig', which is another text-based setup for X11. Not sure if SuSE has it, though.
