I am trying to load Red Hat Linux 7.1.1 on a new Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop. If I start in text mode, everything seems fine (except that only the central 20% of my screen is used for the text).
*That* is normal. :)
When I do a startx command, II've included fragment of your log. Seems that DDC module isn't happy with your hardware?
get a "Fatal server error: no screens found".
The laptop has a ATI Radeon 7500 AGP (LW) video adapter
with 16Mb of memory. I don't know what the display actually
is - Dell specifies it as a 14.1" SXGA+ display. No matter
what I try I get the same problem. Can you give me a clue
as to what to do?
Try either:
upgrading the X to more recent version (you seem to have 4.1.0, right?)
or if that doesn't help by itself:
switching off the DDC in your config (there are options NoDDC, NoDDC1, NoDDC2, but I'm not sure in what section of config should they go)
and (or)
tell X about panel dimensions yourself (sorry, I don't know the exact syntax)
