I picked up a used Dell OptiplexG260 from the university surplus. I
assume it had WinXP on it (didn't look). I slipped in the FC6
install #1, and ran through the install in text mode, because I got
this message:
_X11TranSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost :6001 :
Temporary failure in name resolution Cannot open display ":1"
After install, it boots to login, rather than graphic. Do I have to do
something about wiping drive, before installing FC6 from CD? How do I
correct display, and get graphics running in runlevel 5 at boot? Any
pointers to steps greatly appreciated.
If you're feeling lucky, you can try:
# system-config-display --reconfig
and maybe that will work where the installer failed. If so, then you
just need to change 3 to 5 in the id:3:initdefault: line in
/etc/inittab.
So far, I've tested install with two monitors. Same result. I logged
in as root and ran:
># startx
with version info and legend coming up, followed by:
(EE) i810(0): No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
The legend says, the (EE) means error. I'm not sure where the computer
is looking for Video BIOS modes for chosen depth. Is there a universal
Video BIOS modes command I can enter at boot to get computer to boot
into runlevel 5?
