You can use 'xf86cfg -textmode' which is supplied with XFree86. On Debian, you should supposedly be able to run 'dpkg --configure package' to overwrite the configuration files with the default ones. Also, when you remove a package, the configuration files are not erased (and will not be overwritten by subsequent installs) unless you purge (dpkg --purge package) the package. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
