No x-windows w/gateway lcd
Hi,
I've been struggling for a while trying to get x-windows to work with my Gateway lcd monitor - 18" model # FPD 1810.
I tried on RedHat 7 with no luck. I just installed the latest version of RedHat 9 and still no luck. When I tried to install using the graphic mode, my screen just went blank. Also, the monitor is not recognized during hardware detection. After installing, when I try to enter x-windows, same thing--blank screen.
A Gateway tech advised that I try connecting the monitor using the analog cable instead of the DVI cable, but that doesn't sound plausible to me. Should I bother with that?
Any ideas where I can start? Is it hopeless if no driver is written for my monitor?
Thanks a lot!
