i need serious help!!!
ok im a newbie and i just ran the setup of redhat 9 on my pc, in using the swap option to switch between win 98 and redhat linux... neways... i choose redhat and it starts to boot up,
|
I dont understand the problem does the boot fail?
|
no... it lets me log in but then when i type in startx it gives me fatal error 104
|
Please look in your /etc/X11/XF86Confi(-4) and post 'Section "Monitor"' and 'Section "Device"'.
|
you might want to learn how to ask suitable questions... please provide real error messages and enough detail so we can guess what yuo actually need help with, we'er not psychic.
|
this is what comes up..XIO:fatal erre 104 (connection reset by peer) on x server ":0,0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
[root@localhost root]# |
i suck at linux its like my first time and i got no idea wut 2 type in the promt..
|
cat /etc/X11/XF86Config|less
you can scroll the file with PageUp, PageDown, up and down arrows, and you can quit by pressing 'q' key |
k... where do i go 4rm there?
|
Log in as root , type the command.
Then find 'Section "Monitor"' and 'Section "Device"'. Compare the values in "Monitor" section (lines with 'HorizSync' and 'VertRefresh') with your monitor's tech specification (in the manual). If they're different, quit this mode (press 'q') and open the file in any editor (example: joe /etc/X11/XF86Config) and change them to the correct values for your monitor. Save the file and try to 'startx' again. If it fail, edit the file once again and look into "Device". What do you have in the "Driver" line? Note: Lines beginning with # are comments. |
it doesnt do nething... the same line comes up everytime
|
are you sure thats the only error?, usualy the conection reset eror will only happen after another error first ocurs
|
..k i did the same thing on my other pc and it just skipped to a blue screen with a login window... is there any way i can skip the black DOS prompt thing and go to the graphic desktop???
|
If you have X configured correctly, 'startx' command should bring you GUI. If not, there must be still something wong in /etc/X11/XF86Config. If you still have the problem, post the file.
