Dear Users, I am having a strange problem after installing Fedora Core 6. I could complete the installation successfully, but on the first reboot of the machine when it switches to GUI mode my monitor fails to render anything; I tried with 17 Inch CRT and 15 Inch LCD and result was same. The message for LCD is "Input signal out of range" and for CRT "Hz ?", So I am assuming that the refresh rate used by the OS is not compatible with the Graphics card. I would like to emphasize the fact that INSTALLATION WAS SUCCESSFULLY DONE IN UI MODE :). Now I started the FC6 in command prompt mode and not surprisingly startx fails with same message :). So I was wanting help on how I could start FC6 in GUI mode; someone please help me. I have a hunch that I could supply argument to startx or xinit but not sure how to do that. Please help me. Thanks in Advance. Configuration: P4 2.66 MHz 1 GB RAM with 64 MB shared for AGP VIA Compatible AGP 80 GB ATA/IDE HDD 40 GB SATA HDD Rhine and RealTek LAN Cards Waiting for a reply. Imran
Reboot to runlevel 3. Do a "yum upgrade" to upgrade your system to the latest packages. Reboot. If your system is still hung, reboot to runlevel 3; e.g. at Grub menu prompt type an "a" and press "Enter" key. Log in as root. Run "system-config-display" to specify your graphics card and monitor. If the tests work go to runlevel 5, e.g. "init 5".
