OK, so being ambitious and even more foolish, I went ahead and wiped out the factory-installed RH9 and put on my own reinstall on my gigantic Dell Dimension 650 dual processor. Two things have happened: The graphical GRUB loader seems to have become history. I have no clue but the message says that it is off to GRUB and becomes Mr. Grump. In other words, out pops up a prompt which accepts nothing but "reboot" to come to the same spot. The boot disk (stored in a floppy) however is what brought me to this screen (from where I sit and type. Does anyone know what happened? How do I resolve it? Point number 2: my graphics card and Dell 2000 FP Digital monitor would love to provide a 1600x1400 resolution, but Mr. Grump will give me no more. Why? SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh *0 1280 x 1024 ( 412mm x 313mm ) *75 1 1280 x 960 ( 412mm x 313mm ) 75 2 1152 x 864 ( 412mm x 313mm ) 75 3 1024 x 768 ( 412mm x 313mm ) 75 4 800 x 600 ( 412mm x 313mm ) 75 5 640 x 480 ( 412mm x 313mm ) 75 Current rotation - normal Current reflection - none Rotations possible - normal Reflections possible - none I am pretty certain it supports it. But why does it not even show up? Can someone please enlighten me, as to what I should do. And I do not have gnome or kde installed (i use fvwm). Those are enough shocks for a day -- I will be back tomorrow with more:-( Thanks and best wishes! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
