I had a power blackout this afternoon (in fact it affected most of the country -- I live in Venezuela) and after coming back up my X configuration was damaged. Basically the screen resolution was all wrong and the Display widget (under Gnome this time) refused to change it to something reasonable. This is F9-pre, and there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I switched to a console, did "init 3" and ran system-config-display. This worked perfectly and created the xorg.conf file. What I'd like to know for future reference is where does an xorg.conf-less X server gets its configuration from? Is it stored in a file somewhere, did that file get damaged by the power blip and thus have strange settings in it (which X simply accepted without complaint). If it's not stored but regenerated from hardwired settings, why was it all wrong where previously it had been right? I'm happy it all worked out, but I'd like to know what happened. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
