When you boot to the console login use this command to started the console version of the X configuration utility: setuptool ENTER -- Mark /* I never worry about the to-jams. * Once I've stuck my foot in my mouth * it's already too late...just make sure * you chew them thoroughly before swallowing! */ Registered Linux user #182496 * Pine 4.21 * On Wed, 4 Oct 2000 3:15pm ,[EMAIL PROTECTED] spake passionately in...: dear anyone i have a BIG problem and need your help.i'd appriciate all suggestions. today a friend of mine asked me to set up a mandrake 7.1 server for his company. it's ment that the server will be tested during 2-3 months and maybe after that will be replacing one of NT servers for the office usage. the installation went smooth untill configuration of X-window. after i had chosen the monitor (actually listed in HP monitors) and the automaticly found graphic card (Asus v7700 GeForce 2 GTS AGP), when i want to test the result it all turns black and installation terminated. i restarted the pc and linux started in console mode. even after that i had no chance to configure X with Xconfigurator command. any option i ever chosen made the screen show all creation's colors. plz help me to run X server and graphical login. tnx in advance
