i've just installed redhat 8.0 on to my computer,
all worked fine except for the display, whixg was incorrectly scaled. it was
like the resoloution was set very low. I attempted to change the resoloution but
it stil wouldn't work. sometimes the GUI would fail to load completely. My video
card had been correctly detected, but my monitor just used generic drivers.
initially i was using Xfree86 v 4.0.2, which I recently updated to v4.2.0. this
removed the original problem, my monitor now displays graphics in the correct
size, however a new problem has emerged. redhat boots fine right up to loading
the GUI, but the login screen doesnt come up. All i get is a blank desktop with
my mouse pointer on it. the pointer shows that the computer is processing, but
nothing happens. I cna freely move the mouse. I dont know much about linux
systems, but im wanting to learn, hence installing it, so any help would be very
gratefully received.

useful

P.P.S i'v tried looking for linux drivers for my
monitor but with out luck, I can't even find the manufacturers
website.
