Thank > you > Your card didn't get configured. I would manually configure it using "xf86config". I assume you are getting a command prompt? Just type the above command and answer the questions. Make sure you know the amount video memory allocated for your card and the specs for your monitor (vert and horiz freq. and applicable resolutions and refresh rates which are available). For example, I have a KDS Visual Sensations Model 19sn monitor which has a vert refresh rate of 30-95 and a horiz refresh rate of 50-160. I have a SiS 740 chipset to which I have allocated 64MB of memory. Given this, I am able to set my resolution to 1280x1024 @ 85Hz and 24 million bits true color. All this info should be available in the doc provided with your computer. If this is too complicated, just reinstall and pay particular attention when you come to the section that configures your graphics. Make sure you check graphical login and, if provided, push a button that is usually titled "test" which displays a screen if everthing is working correctly.
