After yesterdays yum update - problem starting X (SOLVED)

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

 



After performing a yum -y update yesterday, I rebooted and logged on as normal 
user via command line like I normally do.  When I entered startx all I got 
was a blank screen.  I then rebooted and logged in as root and again tried to 
start X with the same results.

SOLUTION:
Rebooted and logged on as root.  Ran system-config-display and found that the 
update had caused a change in the display driver from my ATI Radeon 9200 to a 
VESA driver which does not work with my video card and monitor.

Video card:  ATI Radeon 9200 (RV280)
Monitor: Envision EN-7600 LCD (1024x768 @ 60Hz) 
Kernel: 2.6.15-1.1948_FC5smp
M/B: Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P
