I had to re-install Linux on my laptop after the InstallFest, so when I did I
ended up coming across the same problems that existed the first time I installed
Linux.  At login, I get a message telling me that the system was unable to get
the x-server (I think) up and running.  It had some sort of problem with my
monitor, and that no valid screen modes could be found.  I asked someone about
it who had a similar laptop, and their XF86Config file was identical almost to
mine with respect to my monitor and graphics card settings.

I have a Dell Inspiron 4000, with a 128 bit ATI Rage graphics card.

Also, I get a message from the utility it runs to try and fix my problem that
states, �Probing returned bogus results�

Does anybody know what I should do?  The guy who helped me set this up came
across the same problem with me and he was able to fix it, but don�t remember
how he did it.

Thanks,

 
Matthew Larson
