Hypothetically

Post by Arolisci » Thu Jul 31, 2003 6:19 pm

Hypotheticlaly. If someone has the debian dist (a royal pain to install). And they got a new graphics card, motherboard and processor and it meant that gnome or kde couldn't load. One just had the prompt. Hypothetically how would one fix it without reinstalling the whole thing?

BTW im doing this as a favor for someone since he hasnt gotten a response yet....

Hypothetically, god would hate them and laugh at their suffering.

Stop with the hypothetical bulldooky.

You got a problem with x them. Try reconfiguring it.

This is actually not hard to fix at all. Would I be right in saying you now have a different brand of video card? If it is nvidia go and download the drivers from their site. Same if it is a new ati card. Otherwise this should fix it:

dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
Just because life sucks, it doesnt mean you have to care.
