Re: [Nolug] Help!

ok I am getting real close, does anyone know how to get 'redhat-config-xfree86' to run in text only mode? When typeing this in, it takes me to a GUI interface, and I cannot view it. I think soon as I am able to view this in text, I will be able to fix it. But I am not sure though. I will be trying the other suggestions also, but I want to try this first.

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?
