Xfree86 problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
