I hope this is the right forum for my problem......
I'm trying to install Red Hat 9 on a brand new, empty computer. The
graphical installation option just gave a blank screen, so I installed
using the text interface. This all went fine, but now I can only use
linux in command line mode. The default, graphical boot up gives a
blank screen, and typing startx at the command line gives the same
blank screen.
It seems possible that linux failed to detect the graphics card
correctly. I looked in the file Xconfig file, and it seemed to
contain a convincing sounding graphics card.
So, I have 2 questions:
a) How do I fix it!
b) Is there some default, generic graphics card parameters I could
use? (And, if so, exactly what do I put into which file.)
Many thanks for any ideas.
