problems with loading fedora live dvd 8 X86_64
hello,
I have downloaded the fedora live dvd 8 for X86_64 When it start booting everything seems to be normal until i get a message om my screen. 1: D sub Can not display this mode. can anyone tell me what to do? regards |
It means its trying to run X at a display size and refresh rate, beyond what your graphics card/monitor can handle.
I had exactly the same when i ran it, a bit back. I ended up doing an install in text mode. I wasnt interested in running it off the dvd. To fix it you could open a term once you reach the login screen by holding down ctrl+alt+F1, then login as root. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add in generic refresh rates and set the max display size to say 1024x768. That would allow it to work, but if you are running it as a live cd, then you will probably end up having to do this everytime, unless someone knows if the live cd has a save config script with it. The above is beyond newbie level. You might be better trying a different distro. |

Does anyone know how to work with linux in text mode?
I have found something on a other forum but i need someone who can tell me something about editing in linux. some one told me to type in PHP Code:
etc/x11/xorg.conf but i don't know how? |
In text mode, type
vi /etc/x11/xorg.conf press I to edit it, then when you are finished press Esc, then :wq then type startx |
