xwindows hangs
I've had a little expierence with red hat linux and I have had v. 7.2 (this same version i'm using now) on my machine before.
The problem is when I try to startx or try to login using the graphical login. the screen will display a sieres of discolerd garbage and I cant make anything out. The mouse works and I can see that but the desktop is distorted and non-functional. When I log in in text mode the shell works fine. Ive tryed alot of things but I just cant get it working. Heres my system: P2 400 196 mb ram Ati radion 7000 64mb (the install detects my card as ati genaric) Genaric monitor Obviosly it is a graphics problem but I just cant fix it. Any help would be great loony_guitarist@yahoo.com |
Welcome to LQ.
As root try running: Xconfigurator And make sure your settings are correct. Try it with a lower resolution if you still have problems. |
