Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: How to get X configuration from the command line: msg#00027

Subject: Re: How to get X configuration from the command line
Hi,
I have fedora core 1 installed and I was having the same problem today
as my Xwindow crashed when I played with VMware.

Disclaimer : I am a newbie to linux and so try these commands on ur own risk as
I don't know if they damage the system ...but I did not have any alternative.

I fixed the problem by finding on google- 
1) I went to runlevel 3 and if then run  
X  -configure       ( or X --configure)
Then it will create XF86Config.new in the directory that you are
working on ( I run that command in /root)
( Also this command will produce a blank screen with a mouse cursor. I
think then
I pressed "CTRL ALT F1" to go to shell from where I executed this command and 
pressed Ctrl C to stop it).
2) Then,   cp XF86Config.new /etc/X11
3) Rename XF86Config.new as XF86Config
(Backup old XF86Config files for safety)
4) run redhat-config-xfree86  ( not system-config-xree )  . You can
find this binary
in redhat-config-xfree86
5) Select monitor , resolution etc. Press OK. Reboot machine.
X windows should run fine.

Hope this helps
Regards
Shirish
