I have been running FC2 since it was initially released. Only now have I decided to upgrade to FC5. I was new to Linux when I set up FC2. I have not set up or upgraded to a new OS since that time. I am still a newbee to setting up and configuring Linux and Fedora. I cannot get the GUI to display. The system boots up at the command prompt and asks for the login at the same. I have a ViewSonic VG800 monitor and an ATI 9600 Pro video card. The mother board is an ABIT IS7 The installation could only be done using "linux text", I figured then I was going to have a problem with the GUI. I had a similar problem after the installation when I installed FC2. Here is what my xorg.conf file has in it Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0 VenderName "Monitor Vender" ModelName "VG800-2" DisplaySize 360 290 ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync Values to use DDC: HoriSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "radeon" VenderName "Videocard vendor" BroadName "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600]" EndSection I was not able to find anything on the Fedora site and Google did not turn up much. My FC2 install has worked fine since I got passed this problem about two years or so ago. I was able to get the GUI to actually work during the install of FC2. I had to tell FC2 to use a generic monitor and video card for the GUI to work on boot up of the OS. This time I did not get any option that would let me do that. Can some one help by telling me where I can find the solution to get the GUI working? I have no idea where to look or what to do to resolve this.
