Hi,
Please use Plain Text when posting to the list, it is much easier to read.
The problem is likely the monitor refresh or resolution is not set correct.
Here are a few ideas:
1) First, look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log for error messages
2) look at/edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config
near the end is a section names "screen", there is a "Modes" line, it has the
resolution for the monitor, either add, or move to front, "640x480" as in:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Display 1"
Device "MATROX CARD 1"
Monitor "Display 1"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
#OLD Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
This starts in 640x480 and use "Ctrl Alt +" to cycle within X
3) try runing "redhat-config-xfree86 --noui" This will set the monitor to
generic vga but it may get you started. You could use "redhat-config-xfree86"
once you get access to X and you can chage resolution/colour depth until you
find were it fails.
Hope that helps.
