cannot start xserver-mandriva
 

hi
i'm using mandriva spring powerpack on a samsung n210. after the installation the screen went fuzzy. i logged on as root, and did XFdrake selected xorg vesa and nv but i still get the same issue. the screen res is at 1024x600. can anyone recommend an alternative xserver. the free version worked fine, i just don't know what it uses
cheers

Hi, do you get an error message on the screen?

If so, can you post it here please.

Regards Glenn

no i don't get a message because the screen goes all fuzzy and at that point i think it goes to the login screen but i cannot see. this is what i do. login failsafe, login as root, XFdrake, select Xorg vesa, resolution 1024x600 (i even tried lower res) the thing is that when i used the free version on a similar netbook it worked ok. should i throw the towel and stick with the free stuff? help would be appreciated though

ok, could you try the key combo to change the resolution/freq

ctrl alt NUMPAD+ (increase freq) And wait to see any change, wait 1 second or two.

ctrl alt NUMPAD- (decrease freq)

I don't think it has anything to do with free sortware or Powerpack.

By the way, do you have paid support with your Powerpack, Mandriva may have the answer already.

thanks i'll try that and let you know. i have just sent a message to expert and am waiting for the answer. cheers
