X Wont Load!!!!
ok, so i used to red hat 7.2 a looong time ago and then quit...i stopped using linux for some reason - last year i got back into it and was using mandrake 9 and loved it, all my hardware worked with no problems
now its been months since ive touched a distro, im kinda sketchy with the command line and such, and got tossed a copy of slackware 10 so i installed it with the enthusiasm to get back into it, thing is when i installed it and tried to run X, i got a black screen and nothing would happen, but it seemed as if my card was being used the way it hsould be because it was using resolutions (mind you i upgraded my video card since i last used linux), got frustrated and couldnt figure it out so i decided to put mandrake back on and see if that did anything....every setting i tried to test in mandrake failed and im stumped on how i can get X to run...any direciton would be great
im using an egeforce fx 5200
