Dell Precision T1700 default xorg.conf file needed

2016-01-09 Thread Yasha Karant
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.

If you are sure the xorg.conf file existed but has been removed with no
backup, then it was not done by ELRepo. 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.
