Angry Out of Range... ahhh!


Mail me please,or leave here
Ok
I'm loading Red Hat 7, (Boot form CD) When i get to the "select method option" for installing (Graphical / Text) I choose Graphical.
Well, all I get is an "Out of Range" message forcing me to install with Text only. I gladly do, but when im all done installing and I want to run X I get the same "Out of Range" message. ive tried Xconfigurator / Re-installing / Customizing my own monitor and setting every different setting possible. (almost every possible obviously)
What can i do to fix this?

PS: I did get the X to work once by using Xconfigurator, (only once, not sure why it decided to work halfass that time) but it gave me the most horrid blurred screen. I tried to fix that horrid blurred screen but ended up with my old friend "Out of Range" again and form that point on it was loaded into my LiLo so i got the meesage the second I loaded up leaving me to Re-install.

what hardware are you using? and have you checked the hardware compatiblity lists for xfree86 and if your hardware is going to work properly, maybe a possible upgrade of xfree86 or a new driver....

I think your right. this is the jump btween versions:
3.3.6:
Support (accelerated) for the MGA2064W (Millennium I), MGA1064SG (Mystique), MGA2164W (Millennium II) (PCI and AGP), G100, G200 and G400 is provided by the XF86_SVGA server with the mga driver.

4.1.0:
Support (accelerated) for the MGA2064W (Millennium I), MGA1064SG (Mystique), MGA2164W (Millennium II) (PCI and AGP), G100, G200, G400, and G450 is provided by the "mga" driver.

Summary:
All hardware supported in 3.3.6 is also supported in 4.1.0. The G450 is supported only in 4.1.0.

Ill try it out see what happens .... Thanks
