Something strange happened here. If copying "xorg.conf.new" on
/etc/X11/ and renaming it as "xorg.conf". I can't start X, the HD
only
turning. Now I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I can start KDE
(not
Gnome). I don't know which "xorg.conf" I am now running.

just have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log - it will tell you which
config
file is used

Hi Armin,


# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep xorg
(**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
(**) <default keyboard>: XkbRules: "xorg"


# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep conf

Would it be "getconfig"? Why I'm not allowed to copy
/root/xorg.conf.ne /etc/X11/xorg and run xorg.conf there?

Unfortunataely xorg.0.log is a big file. I have no idea where to
look
at the error message on running xorg.conf. Any suggestion? TIA

Hi Armin and folks,

I made further test as follow;

# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hard reboot X = [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Back Space]

exited to runlevel 3

Login : satimis
Password: xxx

$ startx

KDE started with color looking strangely and finally PC hung.

Hard reboot and removed xorg.conf

# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
.....
FreeFontPath:FPE "/usr/XR11R6/lib/X11/Fonts/misc/" refcount is 2.
should be 1: fixing
* end *

Any advice how to fix this problem. TIA
