The video info is below. The | | | | vesa driver is sort of a generic driver.

So I went | | | system settings ==> display and set the correct video card. | | | | | | Then I got an error message saying that the system would log out of X | | | and correct an error. It never came back. So I rebooted but now the | | | boot sequence goes to: | | | | | | Starting udev: (ok) | | | Initializing hardware..... storage network audio done (ok) | | | Configuring kernel parameters: | | | | | | and there it hangs unresponsive. | | | | | | Probably I have to start the install process over again? | | | | | | Regards, | | | Truls | | | | I found that when hittin ctrl-C after the system hangs it actually | | continues to boot and gives me a command line. | | | | The problem is that system settings - display did not update my | | xorg.conf file correctly. The driver name for the video card was not | | replaced with the corect one but ended up as mix of "Vesa" and "S3Trio3D" | | | | I tried to correct this using vi but am not able to open the file in | | edit modus. I'm told it is a read only file. | | | | Any suggestions? | | | | Truls | Ok, I have followed all advices given under this thread without success. | | So, I did a fresh install of FC3 from the cds and the following happens. | | Upon installation fc doesn't recognize my video card and set it up as | VESA generic. That works in the way that my screen background seem to | have the correct resolution but applications and icons etc. seems work | at 640x480. | | Then, when I change to video card S3 Trio64 3D and reboot I'm back to | the original problem. The systems load all the way to: | | Starting udev: (ok) | Initializing hardware..... storage network audio done (ok) | Configuring kernel parameters: | | ~ <then I have to enter Ctrl-C to make it continue> | | INIT: Entering runlevel: 5 | Starting readahead early: (ok) | Checking for new hardware: (ok) | touch: cannot touch '/var/touch/subsys/kudzu': Read-only file system | Applying iptables: firewal rules (ok) | touch: cannot touch '/var/touch/subsys/iptables': Read-only file system | Starting pcmcia: (ok) | etc | etc | | Am I doing something wrong or the system? | | Regards | Truls ~ Hi, I post this one more time to see if someone out there has the solution to my problem. Thanks for valuable input Jim but it didn't work this unfortunately. Howerever, I learned a lot so it was not waisted.
