| 203324 | 2003-12-27 19:48:00 | > ^^ That's for the nVidia drivers, by the way. ^^ Oh dear. :O Was this after you edited the XF86Config? When it was asking you questions after everything went horrbily wrong - you needed to say "yes". A simple typo in the XFConfig editing will enduce this as the config file is no longer readable in order for X to load. Red Hat will give you the option of loading a default XF86Config when it encounters an error in the current one. Try booting up the machine again, and seeing whether it will give you the option of loading this default config again? Say yes this time. You should be able to get back into X (your desktop), and if you paste a copy of your edtited XF86Config, we will see if we can spot the problem line. Hope the coffee supply hasn't gone already. |

Try this then: wish /usr/share/msn/amsn ..When you get the GUI of course. If you screw up X big time, you can always post here and myself or Jen can send you our working XF86Config file. |

This is a root termimal example: [root@origin root]# And a users terminal example: [jennifer@origin jennifer]$ By simply opening up a Shell (Terminal Console) window, the first prompt you see should be the users example. Did you not create a general users account during installation of Red Hat 9? The root account should only be used when absolutely required, and you will be often prompted for a root password when performing task that require root privileges. Open up a console windows and enter in redhat-config-users. If you haven't created a user account (non-root) for yourself, you better make one now. You can find general information on this [url=http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/ch-redhat-config-users.htmlUser and Group Configuration[/url]] |

| 203332 | 2003-12-28 00:33:00 | OK, well I pushed yes, and if I turn my screen off and then on, it gives me the display options... and it hangs when I move the mouse. I simply CAN'T get into Linux. |
