video config question....

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I friend called me last night, mild panic, couldn't startx.

He'd changed the video card, and needed to re-run system-config-video, 
but on searching aourFC2 systems, no such beast could be found on 
either of our FC2 systems.

For some reason unk to either of us, kudzu didn't catch this on the 
boot.  Strange.

Where did it go, or what is the video configurator  called now?

I believe you are looking for system-config-display .

Duh!  It was right there in front of my blind eyes I guess.  Many 
thanks for answering a dumb question, William.

I know I may be coming in late on this, but try going into runlevel 3
and renaming the old xorg.conf file then reboot.  I did this on
FC1/XFree86 and kudzu ran sys-config-display automatically.

I have NOT tried this on FC2
