I installed Fedora Core 1 and as usual the setup didn't detect my monitor properly even though it is in the list (Hansol 500A). I choose the proper monitor and continued the installation (this worked on previous versions of RH). After i installed the OS and booted it for the first time somewhere right after starting x my monitor turned itself off. I'm guessing the resolution set is not supported by my monitor. I went and edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config file - horizontal and vertical frequencies and resolution but that didn't help. Lastly I used the Redhat-config-x86free (forgot the right name) with the --reconfigure switch and i recieved this error: xconf.py :Fatal IO error2 (connection reset by peer) on x server :17.0 The graphics card was detected properly - Radeon7000 For the monitor i recieved some bogus values... I even reinstalled the whole lot and used a standard 800x600 monitor but no luck with that either. Does anyone know what else I could try beside buying a new monitor :D thanks Conker Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. http://au.movies.yahoo.com
