I just installed F9 on a decTOP
(http://www.dataevolution.com/dectop%20info%202.htm), and F9 is not
recognizing the video card.
The decTOP uses a AMD Geode GX500 cpu. I once had the specs on the
video for this unit, but can't find it right now.
Any pointers on getting FC9 to recognize the video card?
'system-config-display --reconfig' replies with not video card, even
though I am in text mode...
I found:
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/updates/9/i386.newkey/xorg-x11-drv-geode-2.10.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm
Downloaded it to the decTOP and did a yum localinstall. Found out
that 2.8 was already on the system, but hey, newer should be better.
Ran 'system-config-display --reconfig' and got:
No video cards were found on this system, exiting
Now what?
Oh, I have another decTOP with Centos 5 on it. I never got gnome
working on it, but from what little I did here on fc9, I went back to
looking at matters on the Centos 5 unit, and selected nsc as the
hardware (National Semi Conductor Geode support, it was set at vesa
before), and startx brought gnome right up.
I should point out that on the Centos 5 system, in /etc/X11 there is
an xorg.conf. In the FC9 system there is NO xorg.conf!
So on the FC9 install, I try 'startx'. And Gnome comes up real nicely.
So I try System> Administration > Display and nothing happens. From a
terminal window I try system-config-display and am told 'No video cards
were found on this machine, exiting'.
Well startx found something.
