I borked Puppy by messing with xorg.conf (solved)

[canbyte]

I was trying to get a dual monitor setup going per this thread
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 148#642148

I was following suggestions as noted on modifying xorg.conf but evidently didn't do it right. On reboot, it now stops just after an auto login (to xorg?) and waits. Unfortunately I didn't backup the pupsave file first and would hate to lose the work/settings. Is there a way to extricate from this mess or do I just have to start over with 5.3.3? I guess I forgot I couldn't just open the .conf file and set it back to the original (saved a copy) without somehow getting inside the _save file. Me noob!

Also hoping someone will visit the above thread to help me set up the dual monitor. Or maybe I should start a new thread for that in this forum (more traffic)??

Thanks in advance.

when it stops, type:

xorgwizard

when you are done with the wizard and back at the prompt type:

xwin

should work for you every time you bork the xorg.conf, so feel free to keep trying on the dual monitor thing

Thanks John, that worked perfectly. Puppy barks properly now!
