Re: XF86Setup&XF86Config + gnome doesn't start



Maybe you could try:

find /etc -name XF86Config -print

I think this will find XF86Config file.

I have experience of adjusting XF86Config, now when x windows didn't start, so I wanted to check out xf86config, but couldn't find it in /etc... or /usr/X11R6;/usr/bin../usr/lib.. I did found it som other place in /usr directory but I couldn't read it although I was su.
