xf86config command not found

RonCum · 02-16-2006, 02:39 PM

I have installed Slackware 10.2 on an IBM netvista with a Sony LCD monitor. The installation is up and running in the consol mode but when I tried startx I got the message "Out of scan range - 48.2KHz / 85Hz". I assumed that I needed to configure the monitor so, as root, I entered the command
xf86config. The reply was "command not found". The monitor has worked fine with a number of other Linux distributions.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Slackware has Xorg, not Xf86. xorgconfig and/or xorgsetup are what you're looking for.

"xorgsetup" worked. Thanks.
It was Grogen's instructions that I followed and his suggestion to use xf86
Up and running

Thanks again
