X11 Problems

I recently restarted my computer, no remembering that I had previously edited the xorg.conf file, but I dont remember what I changed. X failed to start.

I re-ran xorgconfig. These are the options I chose for my hardware which is a Samsung SyncMaster 174V and an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro:

-Mouse: 1 Auto
-MouseEmulate3Button: No
-Mouse Device: /dev/mouse (I created a symlink from /dev/misc/psaux)

-Keyboard: 3 Generic 104-key PC
- 1 U.S. English
-Variant Name: just pressed enter
-XKB Options: No

-Hsync: 9 31.5 - 79.0; Monitor that can do 1280x1024 @ 74 Hz
-Vsync: 2 50-90

-Video Card: 6 ** ATI Radeon (generic) [radeon] -
-Video Memory: 10 131072K

It displayed:

"1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" for 8-bit
"1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" for 16-bit
"1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" for 24-bit

I answered: 4 The modes are OK, continue.

Color Depth: 5 24 bits (16 million colors)

Unfortunately after doing so, my scoll mouse isn't working again. Gotta find the directions for it.

Updated will be posted soon...
