SO ... rsync that xorg.conf file off that machine (or copy it to the hard drive somewhere if the live CD can do that) and use it in CentOS-5.
It should be interchangeable.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
sorry to bring up this old thread. i just have time to try this again.
i boot up puppy linux from usb and copy the xorg.conf from it. puppy can display 1024x768 resolution in my hardware. but after i copy the working xorg.conf from puppy into centos, the centos X just wont start at all.
below attached the xorg.conf content from puppy linux for your review.
so anything i can correct to make it work on centos 5.1???
tia.
