Linux Server Hacks, Volume Two
Hack 89. Resolve Common Boot and Startup Problems
10.2.3. Regenerating a Default X Window System Configuration File
# Xorg -configure
# XFree86 -configure
These commands cause the X server to probe your graphics hardware and generate a default X Window System configuration file in the /root directory called xorg.conf.new
# X -config /root/filename
One common failing is that X won't start because it can't detect your mouse. If this happens, check the InputDevice section of the configuration file you created for the value of the Device option. If this is simply /dev/mouse, try changing it to /dev/input/mice and restarting X using the updated configuration file.
If you're having problems starting or configuring X in general, your video card may use a chipset that is not yet supported by the version of the X Window System that you're using. If this happens, you can try using a lowest common denominator as a fallback. Video Electronic Standards Association (VESA) is supported by most cards and should enable X to work at lower resolutions on almost any system with graphical capabilities. To use VESA, simply set the Driver line in your Device section to be vesa.
