Help need for Red Hat 9.0

_me_ · 04-17-2004, 10:01 PM

Just installed Red Hat 9.0 on laptop. When the computer starts to boot I am able to read the display. When it comes time to boot into the GUI my display gets scrambled and I am unable to read the screen. What can do to fix this?

Laptop specs:
Dell Latitude CPx H450GT
192 MB
ATI RAGE Mobility P/M 2x AGP 8MB

Any help on this would be great thanks!!!!

Can you boot into text only mode?

Yes I am able to do that.

Trouble like what you describe could be the video driver.
Have you checked that the driver is appropriate to the display?

Sometimes people install a kernel that works on a PC then are surprised it dosn't work on a laptop. However, it may be more esoteric than that.
