Re: Just start over

[Alfred Hovdestad <alfred.hovdestad@xxxxxxxx>]

Which distribution are you running?  In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, the 
command to configure X11 is redhat-config-xfree86, in RHEL 4 the command 
is system-config-display.  There used to be a command called xf86config 
which may still exist in some Linux distributions.  If you can post 
which distribution you are using, someone may be able to help you 
configure your X11 display.
