Sorry, yes sax2. From command line the only way to access sax 2 is in runlevel 3.
Hi Bernd,
From "man SaX2": "-r Remove detection database and re-init the hardware database"
So, as root from the command line (you're in run level 3, anyway...):
"SaX2 -r" might get you back to a point where you can set your monitor, keyboard and mouse up again.
Carl, That "almost" did the trick! I was able to setup my mouse and keyboard (although I am not able to get lineak to work right again. I'll deal with that later.), but I cannot setup my monitor right, and it keeps getting worse. I am not able to use the manufacturers driver for my monitor (Dell E193FP 19" LCD). The monitor (not linux) keeps spitting out the message that it cannot display the resolution that I am setting (1280x1024) and I'm left with 1024x768. When I go back in to sax2, I get the message "Unknown Monitor - monitor (0) with ID: undefined option "NoDDC" not found - please set up your monitor manually". The monitor settings are blanked, and I need to fill them in from scratch. NoDDC is an option for the card (Intel 915 G). I'm not touching it, and it's not set, so why am I getting the message? I get no success with VESA or LCD settings either. Further thoughts? Bernd
