I changed my monitor yesterday in LM9.1. Now X doens't start. After the boot it just gives me the "text" login instead of the X login etc. When I run "startx" It gives me this error:

Data incomplete in file /etc/x11/XFConfig-4
Undefined Monitor "monitor2" referenced by screen "screen2".
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from .xf86HandleConfigfile()

Fatal server error
no screens found

I've tried doing this:
X -configure
The screen goes black for 1 second and returns. It says if I want to test the new config file I must type in this:
XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new
The screen goes to a blue coloured screen with a cross (I think it's the mouse cursor) and I can't do anything!
When I press CTRL+ALT+F2 it goes back to the textmode screen thingy, but it's not in the normal colour's
Anyway, that's not the problem. When I then enter
mv XF86Config.new /etc/x11/XF86Config
it goes OK, but X still won't start. When I restart it's the same.

Anyone seen this problem and knows how to help me out?

hi 4hp.
it appears there's something wrong with the monitor part of the XF86Config, but the syntax rather what's in it (as far as i can tell). Have a look if you can see any unclosed quotes, or brackets, or anything looking obviously "wrong". Failing that, could you post the whole file up and the the X log (/var/log/xfree86.0.log or similar)

I ran xf86configure last night and now and I edited it, it needed some changes in de Screen section, Monitor 1 = monitor1 etc...
I can get into KDE fine now.

cool

I changed my monitor and i'm getting an "undefined monitor" error. right now my monitor is "monitor2" and screen "screen2". I think these should be "monitor1" and "monitor2".

where can I get the xf86config program?

Thanks
