I tried to install redhat linux shrike.The installation was almost done
except selection of graphical adapter part and the type of monitor.I
choosed generic for graphical adapter as SiS M760(its installed) was
not listed,and unprobed monitor as there was no matching monitor
availiable.The screen goes blank once i boot up the system.What can be
the reason?Any view point??
