OK, what's the error? Can you attach a log file?

[Fortis]

there is no error persay -..

but the results are just not visible...

i mean, i dont get a xserver cras,h - so the options i write must be valid, but for example

when i type the nvlogo off option,
its still there when i restart the xserver..




any ideas....

Do you boot to runlevel 5 (aka graphical login)?

If so, how are you restarting the X server?

Are you sure you're changing the correct config file? (X version 4 and later write which config file they're reading from into their log -- so open up /var/log/XFree86.0.log and check to make sure you're editing the right one -- the config file being used is listed near the top.)

i restart the x server wiv

CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE..

lol

is that bad?

Option "NoLogo" "1"

its a boolean value. 0 = false. 1 = true

check those other options if they use booleans

woops see you already tried that. huhu how embarassing

[bwkaz]

That should be OK...

Does it work to reboot? I know, it's a crappy solution, but maybe... if so, does it work to go to runlevel 3 and then back to 5? (/sbin/init 3 as root, then /sbin/init 5 later, still as root.)

Are you sure you're changing the right config file?
