HELP!!!
I had my Screen saver on. The monitor started to go off  and on.
I killed the X server. I booted to runlevel 3 then to startx but I was
getting the same thing. I do not know what I did or what happened. last
night I just installed Acrobat reader 4 and that was all. Anyway I
understood that something was wrong with the X server so I decided to run
xf86config. I did it a couple of times but all I am getting is an awfull
resolution and NO mouse. I tried all the possible protocols for the mouse
but no solution. Then I run Xconfigurator. When I set everything up I and
typed startx I had the same problem so Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the server
( which was insisting of turning the monitor on and off ) and then I got the
message Fixed Font missing. No default  unix/: -1
So I tried to open /etc/X11/XF86Config and set the font path to the above
default but I got the message that access was denied.( I was logged as root)
Now I am really stuck. I am ready to reinstall but before that maybe you
know a fix. Assume nothing and all the above steps were taken with the help
of HOWTOS and the mandrake site.
Please help!!!

( well sorry but I had to use Windoze)
