While installing RH 8 I chose to "Skip X Configuration". After that I found that Xconfigurator has been replaced by redhat-config-xfree86. I ran that using --reconfig --noui and an XF86Config file was created but X refuses to start when given a "startx" command. The error is... Fatal server error: no screens found I don't see what is wrong in the config..... Anyone? -- http://www.shorewall.net/ for all your firewall needs
