Re: X-server won't start with K7VM3 system

The problem was the monitor.  Replacing it with a HP monitor X-windows launches. It seems that the default values assumed were inappropriate.

Subject: X-server won't start with K7VM3 system

I installed fedora core 3 on a PC with an asrock motherboard K7VM3/E/M/ESYS.

This has a VIA KM266Pro chipset.  Anaconda recognised the video controller as an S3 but X-Windows failed to launch - error being a negative/unknown video mode.  It did not recognise my monitor. (An Ipex 17").

 

Any suggestions?
