Hi Friends,

I am a novice to Linux installations. I tried to install Linux on my Laptop HP Compaq nx6120 and as it did not identify the monitor. I have to install in text mode. Now I installed new Xwindows driver from XFree86.org. The buld says installation is complaete. but the startx does not dispaly the GUI properly.

My chip set is Intel Media Accelerator 900/915GM chip set.
Screen resolution is 1400*1050

Text installation tells me

Red Hat Linux AS Release 3
Kernel 2.4.21-32.EL on an i686.

rpm -q XFree86 says

XFree 4.3.0-81.

I tried with 855Resolutions provided online, but of no help. I think my chip set is not identified. Can some boody help me in installing proper video driver??

Thanks in advance.

Can you post log file?

Hi,

Will you please tell me which log files you need??

Sorry for delay.

It depends on your system.

It is /var/log/XFree86.0.log in my Penguin.

Will you please suggest me some driver to mount Windows XP on Linux???

Is there such facility to mount Windows XP file system on LINUX??

I can load into the Linux through CD drive but writing back to CD is not possible. Hence not able to load that Log file here.Mounting hda1 says NTFS file system not idetified.

Thanks in advance.

will do. check man page.

Hi,

I tried to mount the hda1 with the command

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/Windows

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/Windows

The system reports as

"The kernel does not support fs of ntfs type"
Can you please help me in this regard.

are there any other specific settings in the instruction to be observed???

Thanks in advance.

Umm.

You recompile kernel to mount /dev/hda1. It would be easier if you can use some external devices (USB stick, HD whatever) supported by your Penguin.

If someone you know has a LiveCD(Knoppix or such), you might see if that will load correctly and copy the config file from there.
