[SOLVED] Reconfigure x?

[DougieFresh4U]

How do I reconfigure x? Every time I try, it only goes to the keyboard, then ends reconfiguring. It used to go through a whole bunch of other things.

[whouseswindowsanyway]

Try this in terminal

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
after config press ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X....

preferable make a backup first!

file is in : /etc/X11/xorg.conf

That is what I ran and it only reconfigures keyboard, Thanks

what graphics card do you have?

[cdtech]

Add the -phigh flag:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Add the -phigh flag:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Did that, and nothing came back to reconfigure

what graphics card do you have?

I have the onboard intel 865 chipset

This is output that I believe something is wrong:

I would rename the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" to "xorg.conf.bak" - reboot in recovery mode then issue the command above. This will create a new config file detecting your hardware. You can always rename it back to the original if it doesn't work for you.
