Re: [newbie] Lost X
I doubt that the GF4 will be supported in any way by mdk8.1. Either grab the driver from nVidia's website and follow directions or upgrade, either to 8.2 or 9.0.

I tried running mcc but there was no entry for GeForce4 in the list and none of the avaiable entries would work. Previously I was only using the generic nvidia driver. -- Jason Guidry [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Thanks In Advance Richard What you could do is to run XF86Config from the shell and choose ALL generic settings - this will rewrite your /etc/X11/XF86Config files - at least giving you a viable XWindows system - then reinstall the drivers again, make the necessary modifications to the configs as per the card, then you should be right!

Re: [newbie] lost X! help
You mean /tmp ?? There is no so much space to win when deleting this one. Try: mkdir /tmp mkdir /tmp/.X11-unix mkdir /tmp/.font-unix and reboot with runlevel 3, startx. If you mean /my account/tmp, There is no any file X need. Eric bascule wrote: well just when i thought i was doing ok, i went and deleted the contents of /tmp on account i had run out of disk space and i thought /tmp's contents were well, just that, temporary. obviously not so since now, i cannot boot into X, i can get into runlevel3, since my friend has my cd i thought i'd try to install XFree86-4 from files i have on a dos disk but when i run rpm -ivf blah blah i get the message 'unexpected query source' what does this mean? is there a simpler way to get X back? feeling foolish bascule
