On windows, It's true color: 32 bit. I tried, and after I started X, I got the X cursor with a blank screen. Even ctrl+alt+delete didn't work and I had to reset my PC :( After the restart, the X worked but with a 800*600 resolution, I used the display settings to increase the resolution and then tried to log out which caused the machine to hang for a while and then I was able to log out but X didn't work :( I don't know what to do, I'm completely new to this thing, and I'm starting to really get turned off. What do you advise? Move on to FC2? Is it better? Or is Fedora only for people who know their way around and I should look into other releases that are a bit older and maybe more stable, like Mandrake or RH9 or for example. I know it's not supported, but what the heck. Or what do you suggest? ------------------------------ Message: 12 Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 15:17:26 +0200 From: Hannes Mayer <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: REPOST: Installation worked from hard-disk, now X-Windows trouble To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <40B0A466.4080400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Tarek M.

The monitor is recognized by Windows as a "Plug and > Play monitor", not very useful. Ahh, well, I never used FC1, so I may be of limited help here... But try to set DefaultDepth to 16 in Section "Screen" in the xfree86 config file: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 Maybe this helps ... What is your color-depth in windoze ? Cheers, Hannes. ------------------------------
