Guest spork222 Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I installed mandriva, and I rebooted, and it took me to a command prompt. I tried "startx", which returned that I was missing a "screen" section in my xorg.conf file. I checked, and it was indeed an incomplete conf file. I can re-create it based on my xfree86 conf file under debian (which I am also running), but does anyone have any clue as to why this would happen?

Ixthusdan Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 What kind of video card? If this is the first boot after install, it may be that he file was not configured correctly during install. As root, type "x -configure" at the commandline to generate a new file. I would not use the XFree86 file, except as a reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
