I only get command prompt
Hi, Im a relative neewb (1 month) to linux, and have just reinstalled
XFree86 in an attempt to get TV in working. I installed version 4.4.0
because I didn't realise there was a 4.5 version. I am now stuck with
a command promt. I would give u my error file if I knew how to get
that. Please tell me how I can get the error file to this address. I
am using a different computer so I also need to know how to copy this
file to a floppy disk when I find it. Heres what I know about the
computer:
Fedora Core 3, on verything install and updated today
Build operating system : Linux 2.4.18-14 i686
Kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3
ATI Rage 128 all in wonder pro 32mb
PIII 450mhz
20GB HD
192mb ram
After the descriptions of markers(eg (EE) (==) etc), here is the output:
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Thu Mar 31 19:45:09 2005
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file

New driver is "ati"

Fatal server error:

When reporting----------------------------and so on
Please can you tell me how to fix this without reinstalling Fedora and
losing all my files. Thankyou very much, Alan

Fedora 3 comes with Xorg instead of XFree86.
So there something bad happened.
Look here for a solution
