I changed the moniter and resolution and my screen blacked out and I don't know how to view my desktop again. The moniter just says "Out of Range". I was wondering if you could tell me what should I do, in both cases. Thanks in aadvance. ctrl+alt+F1 (virtual console window) log in as root change the XF86Config file ctrl+alt+F7 (X window) ctrl+alt+backspace (kill X server) On my system, X automatically starts when it's been killed. If this is not the case on your system, you can: - start X manually OR - change to runlevel 3, then back to runlevel 5 (I think it's also possible to reinit runlevel 5, but I can't remember how) using init 3 and init 5 OR - reboot Regards, Pieter Hulshoff _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
