Another chapter in my ongoing struggle to install Ati video drivers...
Last night, I was trying to install Ati drivers for my card by following this guide
www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon
I got to the part where you are supposed to shut down X console despite the fact I wasn't sure if what I had done worked... Bad idea... So I continued until the point where I needed to enter run level 5, but when I tried to get into that, I received the error that my mouse pointer could not be located and got the following , which I had to hand write -
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time:
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file

Please, forgive my noobitity, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
