Im back
 

Hi all

I know that i had resolved a similar issue like this before, well with all your help that is, but im here again.

I built a new computer and refuse to go back to windows....but i can not get mandrake 9.2 installed. After days of playing around with it i finally reinstalled from scratch and i am stuck at the configuration screen. I cant get any gui to load.

This is my new specs this time:_

Shuttle XPC SB61G2, P4 1.8ghz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, AIW PRO 9800, and yes i still have that Sony HS73 Flat Panel monitor that i believe is the problem.

Last night at command prompt i tried to start x with no luck the error message was no screens found. So using the advice of others in here before this is what i did. At the boot screen i ESC and entered linux 3.

cp XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4-drake
XFree86 -configure

i didnt get any further than that it froze.

So next i created a new user with drakconf and started again. Still no luck

Then i tried : XFdrake -expert -noauto

All the error message i get seem to be no screen found.

Ok so as i said i reinstalled, and i have left it at configuring the graphics screen.

Please please help me one more time.

Hi again

I forgot to mention that the driver that it is trying to use is Ati Radeon fgirx, i have tried to change it to AIW Pro, but when i go to test i get an error message:

"An error occured

Try to change some parameters"

I have tried to use custom for the moniter but no joy there.

And i read that vesa might work so yes i did that as well...:confused:

Please help...i love Linux!!!

At the command prompt run xf86config and answer all the questions. The important ones are the vertical and horizontal refresh rate of you monitor.

Hi

I have tried every resolution possible, but all i get is a blank screen.

I created a new user and tried that still no help.

I had the same problem the first time i installed mandrake on a different machine, and after a few weeks in this forum, and withh everyones help. I finally got it working.

So i pulled up all the old messages and did everything the same again, but i must have run out of luck, because it doesnt seem to work.

Any new suggestions are very very welcome.

Thanks Sue
