in this case it is very easy. Although I made a full image of my / partition, jsut in case, it turned out that I simply needed to restore my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to it's original state. So it may be working like this: 1. become root 2. cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.radeon.working.ok Then install whatever ATI driver you think might be promising. If you are "rewarded" with a blank X screen and nothing working at all, like I was: 1. ctl-F1 to the first console, if that does not work: alt-ctrl-F1 2. login as root 3. init 3 to change back to textmode 4. go to the X11 directory: cd /etc/X11 5. copy your backup file back: cp xorg.conf.radeon.working.ok xorg.conf 6. init 5 to change back to graphical X login Then you should be done with in fact reverting to where you started from. Not nice, not rewarding but at lest, I could continue to do my work. Btw. In the meantime, I got an Nvidia 7600 GS AGP silent card for a song (in exchange to some Linux help that I did for a friend) and I cannot wait to implement it tomorrow. Saying bye, bye to ATI will be a day that I will surely celebrate. ;-)) Kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
