Person with ML 9.0 X Problems

[Jason Greenwood]

I have forgotten who it was that was having 9.0 problems with X but I 
have a suggestion. I have done this before so I know it works. Boot up 
the system with Knoppix, let it configure X for you and once booted, 
mount your hard drive partitions. Once you have done that, copy the 
/etc/X11/XF86Config and /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 files over from Knoppix 
to Mandrake. Reboot and voila, all should be well. You will lack 
acceleration and other features of your graphics card most likely 
(because Knoppix ususally picks "safe" generic drivers and config 
settings)but at least you can play with your X Config graphically from 
there. Be sure to save a copy of the files in case you royally shaft X.

Just an idea.

Cheers
