| I recently installed Redhat 8 again. This time I screwed up the video settings. So I went into the directory with xf86config and ran it after I got through my mouse and keyboard got f'd up. If I remember correctly xconfigurator was much easier. Is their another way to configure that's easy? Each time I screw something up I have to power the machine down to get out of x. | |

| Ok the easiest way to generate a generic XF86Config file is to do this:
XFree86 -configure
This will generate a XF86Config.new file in /root. You can test this out and see how you like it with:
XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new
If everything works okay (mouse and keyboard are functioning now), copy this XF86Config.new file to /etc/X11/XF86Config. Then from now on you can start X as you would normally.
BTW, Xconfigurator is now gone from Red Hat. | |

| Nope it's still screwed up. maybe I need to try something else. I'm using A M$ mouse I've tried the intellimouse and the ps/2 and still get the same effect. My cursor goes to the top of the screen and sticky to the top line. | |
