Before I start may I make a few suggestions. A large majority of people on this list would prefer it if emails are sent using plain text, as apposed to any other format (rich text, html etc.). So in future, could you try not to send HTML based email? :) > 1.

When you go in to the graphics configuration system, has it "remembered" your previous settings or do you have to reconfigure every thing again? In the past there has been a bug where under certain circumstances this information is not remembered, and as such not set. It would be a good idea to upgrade your system to the latest versions of "things", namely Xorg, and the configuration software. To do this, the easiest solution is probably yum. Open up a terminal Red hat -> System Tools -> Terminal. Then change to the root user, su - root, then run yum update This will download all the information needed to update your system to the latest version. If your on a slow connection this may take a lot of time (if your on a normal dial up, please let us know and we will be more specific about what to update!). Once you have updated every thing, see if that has made any difference by trying to reconfigure the graphics. Could you let us know what graphics card you do have? As there may also be some known problems. > 2.

I believe this should be working, but it's not on mine, I think some additional parameters need to be specified, however I do not know what they are. -- Douglas Furlong Systems Administrator Firebox.com T: 0870 420 4475 F: 0870 220 2178
