I recently made the mistake of trying to change monitors on a linux 
box I have. Since then I have had nothing but grief. The original 
install process of Mandrake does a fairly good job of setting up X, 
but trying to upgrade something later still seems a lot of voodoo. I 
tried using XF86Setup and Xconfigurator and eventually gave up and 
put back the old monitor. Problem is now I can't boot into init 5. It 
always gives the error:
server/usr/X11R6/bin/X cannot be executed

It then goes into init 3, and I can successfully get into kde by 
entering a startx command. I would hope that making upgrading 
Monitors as easy as the other hardware that is autodetected now might 
one day (7.2?) happen. Obviously I screwed up something during my 
efforts to upgrade. Advice appreciated.
