Re: video problem.

["Pratik Patel" <pratikweb@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

Thank you very much for tyring to help with this problem.

I had already tried to go into console.  It wouldn't give my friend the
screen.

THank you for the document.  Unfortunately my friend doesn't need the the
speaking version.  I already have a speaking version on my computer and mine
works quite well.  I used the original non-final version of the HOWTO.

Since I was asking him to type the commands over the phone, he must have
been typing something wrong.  I had him try it again several times.  I was
successful in replacing the XF86Config file at last.  the monitor is back.

Thank you for the help.
