: I have succeeded in screwing up my X configuration while trying to install the nvidia drivers, now I can't start X. Can anyone offer advice on how to restore the original Suse 7.3 nv configuration, without completely re-installing.
Also, is there a "simple" text editor (something like DOS Edit) that can be used to edit config files outside the X server. While I am sure that editors like vim have wonderful and powerful features for those of you who have been working with them for years, I am a newbie to Linux and for the moment I just need to get a simple job done in the simplest way I can. Maybe later on I will discover the power and features of vi etc.
Pico is a good first editor.
I've no desire to start a war or anything, but I've been using the joe editor for the three and a half years I've been using Linux, and I really like it. The interface has always felt very natural to me. So it's another one you (Dave) might want to check out.
