Hi im a newbie to this and find this forum really helpful It told me to edit the xorg.
I dont really want to reinstall fedora again as I've done alot to it i. I do remember the scripts I put in so can always re-edit it if i know the commands and someway of deleting them and resaving the xorg.
A lesson for the future Your computer is still fully functional, it's just missing the graphical X server. Now comes the hard part Once you've done that, type startx to see boot up the X server again. If this works, then next time you reboot it should go directly into X again. Since you asked how to edit "on boot" : When you get to the Grub screen, select Fedora and press "e" that will allow you to edit a line in your Fedora Entry.
Press enter, then "b" to boot that configuration. Post by bfreshstart » Mon Mar 14, pm. Post by killer de bug » Mon Mar 14, pm. Post by bfreshstart » Wed Mar 16, pm.

Quick links. How to edit xorg. Most of these drivers have a man page that you can consult for more information.
Increasingly, the BusID field, which defines the slot the video card is placed in, is also being used in this section. Depending on the card in your system, you may also need to add the VendorName and BoardName fields, using information that came with your video card.
At a minimum, the modern Monitor section of xorg. Another option is DisplaySize, which is measured in millimeters and specifies the dots per inch to use at a particular resolution.
To get the resolution in millimeters, multiply both the height and the width by The rest of the section is devoted to the Display subsection. When the X Window System starts, it will try to use the default color depth at the maximum resolution listed for it. However, if X is unable to do so for any reason, then it will try each resolution for the default color depth, then repeat the process for the next highest color depth until it manages to load.
You can use this behavior to force your display to use a particular color depth and resolution, either because your system refuses to use the settings you want — possibly due to a flaw in the driver — or because you want settings lower than the maximum. All you need to do is change the default color depth, then, under the listing of resolutions for that depth, place your preferred resolution first.
You may also choose to delete the resolution listings for other color depths, as well as other resolutions. As long as you have a backup of the original xorg. If you have added hardware to your system, your last step in editing xorg. That means adding the Identifier for a new monitor or video card to the Screen section, and the Identifier for a new pointing device or keyboard to the ServerLayout section.
When you have done that, either reboot your system or restart X using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to test the new configuration. Should X fail to start, you can still edit xorg. These are only the most basic options for editing xorg.
Depending on which manufacturer you buy your hardware from and whether you are using multiple pieces of the same type of hardware, you can significantly complicate the contents of the file.
However, the information here is enough for a basic orientation. You may never have to edit xorg. About Us. Sign in.
