Description Alin Osan 2003-01-20 11:04:08 EST

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.
