i have a anthlon x64 3000+, nforce4 mb 768ddrm, ati x550

i installed fc 6 i386 in graphical mode
worked fine

at first boot my monitor goes into a strange state with a |hz ?| rectangle moving around after fedora tries to start udev

from what i could figure (from other posts) my problem is that i don't have i driver for my ati x550 video card

can anyone give me the exact commands so i can solve this problem

i'm not very experienced at linux, i'm only good at it when it doesn't crash :P

Try as root;

Code:

rpm -Uvh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/6/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm

When done as type something like;

yum clean all
yum -y install ati-x11-drv

After the package(s) are downloaded and installed still as root try one of the following;

Xorg -configure
system-config-display --reconfig

Test by using the is suggested by the Xorg command or by typing 'startx' minus the single quotemarks if you used the system-config-display command.
