I have installed FC1 to my desktop with absolutely no problems. It came with my textbook for my Unix class. Now I am trying to install it on an extra laptop that I don't use. It was a new hard drive so it is the only thing on it. It is an IBM A21P 850Mhz, with 512 ram and a 15 inch monitor. It installs fine, but it stops at the monitor and I'm not sure what to pick?? I don't see anything in the documentation and nothing in the BIOS. I guessed a couple times and when it boots up the X window fails. I get "bad mode clock/interface", hsync out of range, fatal error, no screens found. Does anyone know what I should pick for a monitor and what range I should pick? Thanks so much! AnnetteHi and welcome to Fedora. Om my IBM Thinkpad T20 - I use Generic LCD at 1024x768 as the monitor - and it works.
I believe the 1024x768 Thinkpad display is an "IBM 9514-B TFT Panel". That's what I use on m T41.
That being said - Fedora Core 1 is really old and no longer supported. I suggest you get a copy of Fedora Core 4 or Fedora Core 5 and try that. Note that installing FC5 on my Thinkpad T20 was a little tricky, FC4 installs just dandy - both are currently supported with official updates. FC5 might install as intended for you though, I don't know. I do not recommend using FC1 at this point in time.
Seconded.
