Hi everybody,
Forgive the question, but I had some problems with the installation of the Core 6 of Fedora. I tried to install it on a AMD64 with an ATI X700SE. If I choose the "text mode" there are no problems until the firt reboot. When the PC restart I get an "Out of range" during the start-up of the Graphical interface and I can't complete the installation. Does anybody can help me? Please!

I am still using FC4 and have not installed 6 yet so I am interested in knowing more. Where were you given the choice of 'text mode'? During installation? Then it likely did not install graphics programs. Just a guess.


Well, at the beginning of the installation (just in the first startup where you are prompted to insert any parameter, like the screen resolution, etc...), It asks for a that choice. I've typed "linux text" and the rest of the installation has proceeded in text mode, but this it doesn't mean that the graphical programs won't be installed on your machine. I hope to have answered you in the best way and forgive for my "macaroni" English.


You are correct in that it would install the graphics programs. I never tried just a text mode installation but if it was that question it has nothing to do with what is installed. And that means I have no idea what the problem is.

The first thing to try is a reinstall. That worked for me once for some odd problem I forget. This time install it in the graphics mode and that will test that the distribution can use the graphics mode of your machine. Do I correctly assume it has worked with Windows and therefore you know the graphics hardware is working correctly?

Thanks for your suggestion!
I've tried to install Windows XP and it works fine with no particular problem in graphics interface. Then I tried to reinstall Linux Fedora Core 6 using the graphics mode and It works since the end... At the first reboot I get an error from my monitor: "Out of range". Probably the frequency detected is too high or the resolution is impossible for my monitor... :-( I've no idea.

Wild guess since I have not installed 6 yet, all the previous I have used do so with a low graphics mode. It looks like 640x480 but not sure how many colors. So you know the graphics works there. So the next step is to start it in a lower graphics mode or try ctrl-all- - minus sign and see if it works.

May be I can try with a previous core, what do you think about that?

If the an earlier one works then you need to report the problem to Redhat. Worth a try.
