I eventually figured out that I had to edit my XF86Config file with nano (located /etc/X11/XF86Config)
Then I went to the part that says Vert Refresh and Horizontal and changed the # value beside Vert to: 30.5-48.5
Hor to: 40-60
then save it with control-x and then at the root prompt, try startx......then make sure to go into your display settings in the KDE or GNOME GUI and ensure the correct monitor, etc. are selected
Give that a try and see if it works!! On Feb 7, 2005, at 11:59 AM, Chris Elmer wrote:
i'm trying to install ydl 4 on my quicksilver 733. i downloaded and burned the iso's from the ftp site, and then booted from the first cd. when i tried to run the graphical installer at the boot prompt, it tried to start the install, but "exited abnormally" when it tried to connect to X server.
so i just used install-safe, which seemed to work. but after rebooting, xwindow could not be loaded, because of an error (sorry, i don't remember what it was) that said said something to the effect of it couldn't be loaded. then it presented me with a terminal where i can only log in as root, since i was never presented with the "first boot" set up, where i guess i add more users. any ideas?
