new monitor - display problem
My trusty old CRT fried on me last night, went out and got a new MAG 15" TFT. Works fine on Win2k, but when I boot up RedHat 9, it boots as normal, then blanks when gnome comes up and the monitor's internal software tells me the refresh rate (53.3 Hz or something close to that) is not supported. I am unable at this point to use the monitor's onscreen adjustments to change the refresh/resolution. Can I fix this from the command line?
Thanks in advance! |
Did you try running (as root)?:

still problems
Yes, I tried redhat-config-xfree86. It dumps me to a terminal that my monitor cannot display, just like before with X. I can return to the other terminal as normal but there is nothing doing there, and I have to restart. Any other suggestions?
Thanks again. |
Try the other tools.

ng
Tried all of the above, either not on my system or unable to run. If I go to /etc/X11/, I find XF86Config, but I get a "command not found" if I try to run it. All of the other tools do not seem to be present in RH9. (I even looked in /usr/X11R6/bin/ ). I can't see why redhat-config-xfree86 needs to run in X, but that's what it seems to be doing.

Do you boot to a console login and then startx?

I appreciate the advice, but I just reinstalled the OS. All is well. Thanks!
