Graphic setup issues...help wanted

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



The problem. I can NOT change my screen resolution from GUI. I boot to multi-user, then get "into" graphical.

First, some background.

My original install of CentOS 8 -- maybe 8.2? -- about 3 months ago -- went pretty well but I kept having lockup issues. No issues with graphics using intel graphics  or sound using either aplay at command line or GDM. (I also have NVIDIA which I have not configured.)

I upgraded to 8.3 at some point. Still all OK with graphics but still lock up issues.

At some point, I decided to start completely over and did a clean install of 8.4. I am now using CentOS8 Stream as my primary repo.

Some questions?

When I first boot, where is the probe of my video card done? Looking at DMESG, I couldn't determine this.

When I "start" graphical, I get the following messages which are apparently related, from Xorg.1.log module loading section...

From messages I've seen on this problem, the lack of

/dev/dri/card0

is the crux of the issue but I have NO idea of how it gets created.

So, right now I'm stuck  at a default resolution of 1024 x 768

Thanks for any help.
