I recently purchased a copy of Mandrake 7.2 with the intent of installing
it on my laptop. Unfortunately, as with previous attempts (Mandrake 7.1,
SUSE, Red Hat), I was unable to do so.
It would appear that the problem is something to do with my monitor, but it
could be the graphics card.
I have tried the following two monitor types:-
Generic LCD 1024*768
High Resolution SVGA
Laptop spec:-
Hewlett Packard Omnibook XE2 DB
Graphics Card ? Silicon Motion LynxE (2mb RAM)
Purchased in Oct 99
After installing Mandrake xWin doesn't start. When I Type 'startx' from the
command promt I get the following error message?.
(ee) VGA (0) : Given depth (16) is not supported by this driver
(ee) Screen(s) found but none have a usable configuration
Fatal Server error no screens found.
HELP - I SO BADLY WANT TO START USING LINUX
