I have a brand-new Dell Dimension 2300 with a brand-new install of RedHat 8.0, and I cannot get X running. The video is an Intel 845 with 32MB of RAM, and the monitor is a KDS VS-70. I have tried every combination of video driver and monitor selection that remotely makes sense. The xf86config selector gives the 845 as an option, then tells me it's using an i810 driver. I notice that the resulting XF86Config file has the VideoRam entry commented out. I holds the value I entered, but since it's commented out, it's kind of pointless. Intel's support site recommends using the vesa driver, and I've tried that. When I run redhat-config-xfree86, it fails, with a report from ddcprobe that invalid data is returned, but when I run ddcprobe manually, it reports everything correctly, except that it thinks I have 0 bytes of video ram. Any help will be appreciated, even if only that my next step is popping $40 for a video card. -- Daryl Lee _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
