warbird1405241485 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 I tried to install Linux Enterprise on my system a while ago, I maked a dual-boot system together with Windows XP and installed it. When I tried to start Linux it all worked until I logged in and tried to start the X-window. Does someone know what's the problem is it my graphical card maybe? I've got a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro card.-jeroen- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 Which Linux dude ? I haven't heard of any distro named simply Linux Enterprise!!BTW - did you configure your video card properly? As far as I know if X cannot detect your card properly, it'll fall back to a basic VESA compatible mode... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giniu 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 Try doing what m^e said - reconfigure your video driver... try using xorgconfig if you isn't familiar with xorg.conf file...(I never used new RedHats - is it running on XOrg or standard XFree? Correct me someone ) also try installing drivers for your card from ATI page... Hope you would get your X's running soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qwijibow 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 Without an error message best we can do is guess.How old is the distro, what version of redhat enterprise ?Sometimes, i fine old redhat installers detect an ATI card, and setup the X server to use the generic r128 driver (which in older versions may not work with newer ATI cards)Either install the graphics drivers from ATI, or re-configure the x server to use the slower, (but failsafe) vesa driver.in /etc/X11/XFree86.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conflook fir the line Driver "r128" and replace with Driver "vesa" and restart X..But like i said, this is a complete guess, and will remain this way untill you post the error message...or maybe the last 100 lines of the X server log in /var/log/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatim 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2005 Well in /var/log/xorg.0.log you need to search for EE or errorI would recomend to you that you get hold of Latest KNOPPIX CD. It will boot and detect a suitable setting for your x. You can then copy the xorg.conf to your /etc/X11 folder. But It may not give you the best 3D setup. It takes time to setup latest graphics card with full 3d support especially from ATI.hope it helps..ask me if some thing is not clear.PS: in knoppix ..xorg.conf file comes in /tmp as it is made every time.

xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2005 Maybe you should try installing another Linux distribution. I have always suggest SuSE Linux, you should use it too. Installing it and making it run was very very easy!xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
