Johnny, this afternoon I got around to putting the old cable back in, only to
find that I can't get X correctly configured again. I have no X. I managed
to get to a text screen and vi xorg.conf, putting in exactly what you
recommended above (maybe that was for digital, not analogue?). I still can't
startx. I see
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(EE) NV(0): No valid initial configuration found
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Can you recommend a really basic xorg.conf to get me started? Thanks
Anne
