F10 ATI Redeon X1650 Pro Xorg Config File

[Harley51]

I have a ATI Redeon X1650 Pro Card and want to change the Xorg config file to vesa but it has no Xorg config file. Does anyone known where I can change this setting. X will not start at all.

just install the old graphical tool: su -c 'yum install system-config-display'

select VESA..and it will write a nice "old style" xorg.conf for you... (System--->Administration---->Display ..hardware tab, select VESA )

How do you run the system-config-display if you have no GUI?? What would be the proper command from the command line?

lol :D

via command line: login as root... then

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and write this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection


save the file (CTRL + X, and press Y for saying yes)

and start your desktop (startx)
