    Hi anyone

     

    I am not at all a Unix person and would very much like to learn. I installed
    Fedora Final Core 2 on my P4 PC running WinXP inside a virtual machine. The
    installer worked fine when I used at the installation boot prompt the text
    "linux linuxresolution=1024x768" (without the quotes). The X-Windows GUI
    worked and installed fine until the end. When I rebooted for the first time,
    I noted that all services said OK except smartd which failed. Towards the
    end, when the X-Windows GUI is about to come up, text line which go by
    quickly state that a monitor cannot be found and I am sent to the command
    line for logging on.

     

    Can anyone help to get my gui environment up?

     

    Thanks

    AA
