Re: Re: [Nolug] Help!

Oops, I had the case wrong. At least in RH7.3 it's Xconfigurator (the
"c" is lower case) and it's in /usr/X11R6/bin. If it's not there maybe
they took it out in 8.0.

>ok so this is my progress.....nothing. Sure I am now in the text
area (crtl-alt-F1) but running 'XConfigurator'does nothing, so i have
been googleing and came accross this '/etc/X11/XF86Config' but i am
not sure if this will work, mainly because it says I do not have
permission for this, even though i am in as root. Another thing I
tried is 'redhat-config-xfree86' and nothing happens. anyone else
have any ideas?
