KDE configuration

[headpin]

Okay, I jsut installed Slackware 8.1, hopefully soon I will actually be running a linux web server which will be kinda cool..My problem is this....I could not get xserver to load at all, montiro went to a blank screen..I had some help and finally some guys at work did some kernal comiling or something..(WAY BEYOND ME) and got kde to load, the resolution sucked. So, I got brave logged in a root, went to the /etc/xr11/bin <--Think that's where I was and ran a file called xf86setp, I did that to try and change the resolution to 1024X768, or close to that, all my options I selected during the config I know where right but now KDE doesn't load again, I get an error message that says something like probe monitor could not be loaded...Anyone have any ideas? Is thre maybe a module I need to compile after I run the config. I am a complete newbie to linux but am trying to learn on the fly, any help would be greatly appreatiated..


BTW: IGNORE SPELLING MISTAKES!

There are many different configuration tools for X. The only two I've used are Xconfigurator and XFree86 -configure. Try both if you can't get one to work. I suggest trying Xconfigurator first. Also if you can get into X Server fine right now and you just want to tweak it a little make a backup of your X Configuration file.

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /root/XF86Config-4.bak

If your unfimilar or uncomfortble with the cp command I suggest you read the manuals for it using the man cp command. If you can't find XF86Config file in that location try using the whereis command.

Hope this helps a little.
