Dear
list,
I have a greying
homebrew PC, Athlon 1200Mz chip, 30 Gb + 120 Gb HD's, some
more-or-less
generic network
card, and a Microtek 710S monitor and a DVD drive. I have 256Mb RAM, and
the
installer insists on
setting up a swap file right away. When I go to install
Fedora
off the DVD
everything is fine, the graphics look great (the screen resolution appears to be
1024x768),
the packages
apparently install OK, everything is fine until I click the
Reboot button.
The machine then
reboots, loads Fedora and gets to a screen that has some extremely low
resolution,
and what appears to
be the following list of setup tasks:
Welcome
License
Info
Firewall
SELinux
Date and
Time
Hardware
Profile
Create
User.
The font is immense
-- most of the items go off the right hand side of the
screen.
There's a caret to
the left, and hitting Enter moves it from one line to the next -- until it gets
to Hardware
Profile. At
that point it hangs. Hitting the reset button just repeats the
process. It appears that it's
not recognizing the
monitor although as I mentioned, the installer had no problem with it at
all. I'm going
to give it one more
go this evening, hooking the monitor in directly rather than thru the KVM
switch.
Anybody have any
ideas? Possible hardware compatibility issues? I've asked around
locally but nobody
seems to have any
solutions.
Thanks very
much,
Bob
