OK, but I wouldn't want to waste your time.

Will PM tomorrow. Right now, it's pretty late and I have to catch a train tomorrow, ... hum... this morning !!
+ I have to set up another computer to be able to connect on this forum and PM, all the while we try to put the Linux one back in shape.
TIA

Not a linux geek, but I use Suse,

try typing sax2 from bash

What's it do? (I don't use SuSe...)

that's the name of the monitor configuration program IIRC.
But when typed under bash, I only get a " command not found " message...

You need to type it in lowercase and you may have to be root. So try to type "su" first if you are not logged in as root.

I logged in as root and I did type it in lower case.... maybe I should be in some directory ....

Found some docs which suggest it's 'SaX2'. And remember, the commands in Unix are case sensitive.

O.K., enough time lost... Re-installation is under way .....

Darn. Sorry.

I'm surprised Suse isn't more forgiving. I've heard good things about it.

I guess it is ... I just don't know how to use it (especially what to do under sh or bash, to get to the proper config file and alter it back to "normal"...)
