I have installed a RedHat 7.0 on an inherrited comp, as i intend to =
change everything i have at home into linux. hmm, yes, getting B.Gates =
sick...
I'm brand new to linux, and i have to learn A LOT about Linus Torvalds =
world changing OS. Also about RedHat and X86config in specific.
I'm trying hard to find every item throuhg the internet, on websites =
like these, at RedHat itself, and who knows where else i can find stuff =
'bout it... ?
But for now as i installed R H 7.0 i have a problem starting X.
The problem is completely situated at the monitor. The video card is =
configured ok, (i guess) as it was listed in the setup config screen. =
the mouse and every other possible device is working fine as i receive =
everything in OK's except for a network card (eth0), but that's not the =
point now. (something for later maybe??).
The monitor's company does not give me any specifications on resolution, =
colors, or whatever necessary (like Hsync, Vsync...., Memory...) its a =
monitor 14" and i only want to see xwindows in a normal situation, I =
believe my vid card supports the monitor, as this card is certainly =
newer then the monitor, (diamond multimedia stealth 2500 >supported type =
by X86confg). I was unable to find any default or standard monitor type =
as i used the expert mode to install R H 7.0...
this is what i get when i try to run startx
