I installed mdk 7.2 at a friends computer but couldn't seem to get X up and running, I had set the correct Horisontal and vertical refresh rates (I know they're correct 'cause I borrowed the monitor for a while and used it at my computer with mdk 7.2 on it). I took the machine home, used another monitor and got the nvidia drivers installed and X/kde up and running. Everything worked smoothly. When I got back to his place and pluged in his monitor X wouldn't start, more to it the computer seems to freeze when trying to do so. The monitor changes to the correct resolution and refresh rates (found with the on-screen-display of the monitor), but it displays a black screen with a smaaall green line at the top left corner. The system refuses to take any input from both the keyboard and the mouse, and I have to reboot the machine (can't even turn the numlock on and off). The monitor is a Hyundai P910 (19") and the display adapter is a RIVA ULTRA TNT2. Everything seems to be correct in the XF86Config-4 file and I checked to see that the X symlink points to 4.0.1 and not 3.3.6. Ps. the startx script doesn't do anything at all, just sits there. I have to start the server either with XFree86 or xinit. Pps. tried with the nv driver instead of nvidia, but it still gives me the same fault, also tried with the vga driver and a resolution of 800x600 in 8bit. -- \ Christian A Strømmen / \ Number1/NumeroUno @ Undernet - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Web: www.realityx.net - Cell: +47 911 43 948 / Live your life by your dreams, not by the limits of reality...
