Dell Precision T1700 default xorg.conf file needed
The ElRepo Nvidia driver seems to have erased (not backed up) the default X11 xorg.conf file on a Dell Precision T1700 with an addon Nvidia card. With the Nvidia card in place, the system will not boot (blocked by the Dell bios); the card has been physically removed. The system boots to a standard terminal login prompt and will allow login; however, no GUI login, and both startx and xinit fail. SL 7.1 . Does anyone have a stock xorg.conf file or URL for one that will work on this platform and environment (including a pointing device, etc.)? Does anyone recall the command that will "automagically" rebuild a working xorg.conf file? I can play with this, but it is easier to get this operational. Yasha Karant

I suggest you look into the code. You will find that ELRepo's package would not remove xorg.conf without backing up. In the %post section: [code] # Check if xorg.conf exists, if it does, backup and remove [BugID # 127] [ -f %{_sysconfdir}/X11/xorg.conf ] && \ mv %{_sysconfdir}/X11/xorg.conf %{_sysconfdir}/X11/xorg.conf.elreposave &>/dev/null[/code] Hope you can find the real cause of the trouble you are having.
