[ale] Switching video drivers

[braino420 at gmail.com (Steve Brown)]

Odd, I thought Fedora had the failsafe X where it would load a generic
xorg.conf if you were to lose the GUI. You could try moving the current
xorg.conf somewhere else and see if it will auto-generate another one for
you:
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
Then you could try typing in: startx
If that doesn't work, since you already have a good idea about what video
driver you use, you could open up xorg.conf, go down to the "Device"
section, and change "Driver" to point to the savage driver (I think it's
simply called "savage").
As root:
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then type 'startx' to try it.
If none of the above works, you'll have to ask one of the Fedora gurus on
the list what the equivalent command of 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xofg' is
:)

HTH,
Steve Brown
