messed up X server, need command line help

[ian_the_great]

ok, heres the problem.

i was trying to get 2 monitors to work at one display, cant remember what its called. i had XGL and 3d acceleration enabled (yea, i know, idiotic) and when i had enabled the display over 2 monitors, my X wouldent load when i logged back in.

in short, i need to set it up through BASH

details:

warning: type "ONE_LEVEL" hes one levels, but <RALT> has 2 symb

choose failsafe at the GRUB boot up and then type sax2 at the command line.

see where that gets you.

Even better type

init 3

at GRUB boot prompt and after logging as root type

sax2 -r --vesa 0:1024x768@60

Let SaX2 reconfigure automatically your X.org configuration or if you know what you're doing do it yourself, test it and if it looks O.K. after SaX2 finishes type

init 5

that should do the trick.

i have a widscreen display, so do i replace the " 0: 1024x768@60" with "0: 1280x800@60"

check error messages in Log files. wrong refresh rates can damage your monitor and i think errors are related to that only.
