Believe it or not, but --reconfig brings up X. I found out the hard way trying to troubleshoot my Savage driver issues.

You get to experiment with the command line options until you get something that can work. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program
