I am
a newbie to Linux. 12+ years of development experience in Mac +
Windows.
I
have recently assembled myself an AMD 64 bit Athlon on MSI motherboard, 512 MB
Kingston RAM, 120 GB Seagate Hard Disk, Samsung SyncMaster 793s
monitor.
- I
downloaded Fedora Core 2 x86 64
-
When installing it does not initialize the X window system
- I
tried installing in text mode, then switching to X Windows, but it
fails
-
When at text login prompt, it keeps refreshing the display in an attempt to
start X Windows system
- Gives some error related to VESA driver &
says 'unable to start X Windows system'
- I
installed my last copy of RedHat 9, which works beautifully on the same
system
- Checked the settings from this install for
VESA driver, monitor type, display frequency, etc... & applied to FC2 x86
64, but it still does not start X Windows
I am
zapped about what to do.
Can
any expert help me here?
Regards, Ram
