Cant Enter GUI ( FEDORA)
 

Hello..

I have just insalled Fedora 6.. and when I try to use it it checks for every thing then shows a black screen with local host login !! I dont have any host I have just install it !!

but I can enter with root !!
But there is no Graphical Iteface only a black screen with white text !! Please help me !!


By the way I installed Fedora using Text interface..
when i try to use graphical interface for installing :
big text and pictures and wrong colors I cant even see the text !!!

if your graphic card detected so try this command startX on the command line and with root

It Worked with starx .. But all what i see a big mouse courser with wrong colors and a black screen

I suppose you can also login as normal user.

Please provide answers to the following questions:
1)
Try the command startx and see what is does? More or less working? If the screen is 'screwed' as with your graphical install, you can probably get out by pressing <ctrl><alt><backspace>.
2)
Make/model of video card/adapter and monitor.

It's startx with a lowercase X

1) it is screwed
2) how can I ??


Thanks for your help :)

You don't know what hardware you have ?

As I said for 1) It is screwed
but what is the 2nd question ??
you said 2)
Make/model of video card/adapter and monitor.
but how can I make/model of video card/adapter and monitor ??

ohh I have
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb

For monitor I have a standard monitor named ( ANBONN "19" )

execute this command and post the results (be careful to copy exactly - including case, and making sure you use the correct quotes):

it says !
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

You should turn off AIGLX. Look at the bottom of this page for instructions. You'll need to be root to edit the xorg.conf file.

Looks like you have the same problem as described in this thread.

ok thanks alot I will give it a look later ( thank you very much I have to go now :) )

I did all what is said.. Its still not working !!!

Still Screwed : /

by the way there was no Section named Extension so I added it like this at the end of the file :

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

and for Section ServerFlags it was like this:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "Yes"
EndSection


and I made it like this :

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "Yes"
EndSection
