From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: If XF86Config is missing from /etc/X11 redhat-config-xfree86 will not generate a new config file, and same thing happens if the XF86Config is ruined. Running "redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig does not generate a new config file. There is no other tool to generate a new XF86Config file since xf86config was removed from XFree86-4.2.99.2-0.20021217.0.i386.rpm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete/move/ruin /etc/X11/XF86Config 2.run redhat-config-xfree86 3.run redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig Actual Results: Error message: "Couldn't start X server, trying with a fresh configuration Error, cannot start X server." A new or restored XF86Config is not generated by redhat-config-xfree86 Expected Results: A new XF86Config file Additional info: This is a bug report for RedHat Linux Beta (Phoebe), but I couldn't find an option to choose a beta product in you bugzilla form.
