X.Org: Screen found, but no usable configuration

[electricmonk]

Hi all I was up way too late trying to get 10.1 (Mandrake) configured last night with the Nvidia driver. I ended up playing around with the hardware settings and must have chosen a video mode that was not supported. The screen went to a couple of very blocky lines and when I restarted I recieve the message below. By all accounts I have the Nvidia drivers installed and all the relevant files have the correct entries (nvidia instead of nv ect) SO I am pretty sure I stuffed this myself. I sthere any way to fix and how do I do so and with what? I edited the folloing text as it was overly long but can post the full thing if needed. Thanks in advance

Well I might take this from another angle. Is there any way to reset Xorg and the graphics system. I tried using the DVD upgrade feature and changed things but this did not work either. Any ideas?

[ianw1974]

If you're logged in at a CLI prompt, what you can do is type su and supply root password. Then type mcc.

 

This will bring up a screen allowing you to choose the display. Use the tab key so you can select the OK and Cancel buttons, and see if this helps.....

Thanks for that. I shall have to remember for the next time. I ended up getting that frustrated that I just wiped the hard drive and started again. The drivers installed and worked fine so It was my fooling arround with other settings that did it. To the best of my knowledge anyway (Which is not much lol) I was not one hundred percent happy with the way I solved it though as I lost all my URPMI stupp and all the RPM I had downloaded. Oh well more insentive to learn. :)
