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.
Boot to runlevel 3. Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config replacing Driver "nvidia" with Driver "nv", and remove the line that says Load "glx" But before you do, you could look at the symlink /usr/lib/libGL.so. That one messed up my X when I installed the nvidia drivers. I had to fix it by hand. It should point to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
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.
Try pico. It's a fairly intuitive, textbased editor .
Thanks Dave
