I am still a very much Linux newbie, so treat this info accordingly:

You can try to see whether your /etc/X11/XF86Config is configured correctly. Also try using redhat-config-xfree86 to try to config your X correctly.

I have Redhat 8.0 on a Inpiron as well with X working OK. If you want I can e-mail my XF86Config (send me an e-mail directly so as not to overload the list).

Reg,

I am trying to install RedHat 8 on a Dell Inspiron 2500 laptop. I can have it boot to text mode and it works fine. When I launch startx it then hangs with the X mouse icon. I have managed to trace it's way through the scripts to where it launched gnome-session in the Xclient script. From there I'm lost. I have messed with commenting out certain portions of the Xclient script just to confirm what is causing it and the only thing that changed is the mouse icon when it hangs. Any ideas? Thanks,
Jon Morgan
