I'm having troubles running X with AMD K6 450 MHz. After I re-installed RH 7.0 "startx" came up fine but ever since then I'm unable get X to come up unsuccessful bring X up every time.
It goes to a blank screen.
I can't even login from another terminal/window to look att the process running.

what kind of video card are you using? This is where the prolem lies.(most likely) you cannot get to a command prompt?

Hi Mahoney,

When the screen goes black/blank, try exiting X by hitting <CTRL> + <ALT> + <Backspace> to dump out to a command prompt. From there, you can run Redhat's X configuration utility Xconfigurator (case-sensitive, of course) to enter the right info for your video card and monitor. If you still get errors when you run startx, try this:
Quit X again, and at the command line type:This will start X, but will also create a file in /tmp called Xerrors, and write the standard output and standard error of the startx command to that file. Quit X again and type:to view the file. You can use the up/down arrows and pg up/ pg down keys to navigate. Look for any errors messages which might point to your problem and repost if you need more help. If you get the classic "No screens found" type of error, your vid card/monitor definitely are not being recognized correctly.

Also- as already suggested, let us know what model of video card (and monitor) you have.

BTW- for some strange reason, during a couple of Redhat 6.2 and LinuxPPC (for Mac) installs, I've been able to get X configured by specifying my vid card/monitor/desired resolutions in Xconfigurator, but then choosing to skip the testing step that follows. I have no idea why this worked, but it did.

It is a ATI rage 32 pci radeon it think it has it.
And has the tv tuner built in.
What I don't understand is why it ever come up in the first place if where the video card.
I have an ati w/o radeon but viedo tuner adp on a P-3 runs fine. Of course there is a about year or so different in the board production.
