Hi there! Are you sure that the problem is in the monitor??? I have Radeon 8500LE, my monitor is Dell 828FI (CRT) and seems that I have the same problem - when I try to start X I receive "(EE) RADEON(0): No valid mode found for this DFP/LCD" - just as you...I'm running Red Hat 9.0 and I've already asked for help here, asked in other places and some guys, which definitely knows much more for Linux than me... I've tried the following and it works for me: Edit your Config file as a root (I used Vim - if you did not work with it before, read its manual - try vimtutor). In section "Device" (that one for the video card) change the driver (I used "vesa"). Save the change and then reboot. See what will happened. It worked for me, if it works for you - then first see what is written this time in your log file (may be it will be helpful later), second - try again to edit your Config file and return the old "radeon" driver. Reboot and see what will happened. If it isn't working you know how to start X (yes, it will be with other driver, but you will be able to work in graphical mode; the bad thing I think is that probably you can not use all the features of your card)...
Tell us what are the results - I'm very curious!!!! All the best - Anton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CMWII W Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 2:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [XFree86] RedHat Version 9 No useable screen error with a AGP ATI Radeon 7500 After trying to make the suggested changes "X" server still will not start. I've edited the XF86Config file and changed the run level to 3 via web admin. Tried to rerun the redhat-config-xfree86 and make the suggested change. But I don't get an option to select the Generic LCD screen. When I run the redhat-config-xfree86 command. The screen says. "Couldn't start X server, trying with a fresh configuration. Trying with card ATI Radeom 7500. Error connot start X server" New Output files.
