View Full Version : Everything looks too bright!
I just got a new monitor and everything looks too bright and the brghtness/contrast controlls dont seem to help. Everything looks fine before it gets into KDE. It also looks fine in XP. Can anyone help me out?
Hrmm.. Just booted from cd and everything looks fine...
:idea:
How do you change settings back to default?

You could copy over the XF86Config-4 from the cd to your hd install.
Assuming your hd:s root is at hda1 do:
sudo su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
cd /mnt/hda1/etc/X11
mv XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.old
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/hda1/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Umm... Where do i type this?? :oops:
Sorry. im a noob to linux
When i type
mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
It tells me: You must specify the filesystem type.

You type it in a konsole, the monitor icon on the taskbar.
Could you paste in here the /etc/fstab from your hd install, need to know your / mountpoint and filesystem.
EDIT: You might not need to remount, perhaps just: mount dev/hda1 mnt/hda1
ok whan i type etc/fstab it tells me permission denied. :(
i know my filesystem is ext3. ihave no idea what a mount point is.
when i try "mount dev/hda5 mnt/hda5" it tells me:
"mount point mnt/hda5 does not exist" :cry:
when i try mount dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 (with slash infront of mnt/hda5), it says: special device dev/hda5 does not exist
I tried mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 (with slash infront of mnt/hda5 and dev/hda5) and followed the other instuctions and it worked! :D
Thanks for your help.

Good thing you got it working.
The mountpoint I was interested in was the /mnt/hda5.
