gui help
i just installed RH8 onto my single hard drive with a windows xp partition on the latter half of it
RH8 boots fine... into text mode despite the fact i selected graphic desktop mode. need help... also need help editing grub.conf file... there is nothing in there when i try to edit it... thanks h4wk |
in the command line, try "startx"
see if u get errors pushing you back to the destop. if you do, can u tell us the message? |
thanks for prompt reply, ill go try it :D
|
fatal server error:
no screens found when installing rh8, my monitor wasnt automatically detected... so i selected what i think is the model from the list of makes and models... maybe this is the problem... help! :( |
hehe np, i am waiting for a ride home from school anyways :)
|
1 more thing, i have a dual boot set up... or i am debugging it now... trying to fix a few problems...
when i boot windows xp pro... it says: xmnt2002 not found skipping autocheck autochk not found skipping autocheck then it reboots... i found another thread addressing this and attempted to do what that person did... and it didnt work thanks |
xmnt2002 not found skipping autocheck
autochk not found skipping autocheck u got partition magic installed? and u moved the programs? (deleted, uninstalled, different partitions?) |
i used partition magic, i didnt intentionally move the programs... i moved the windows partition the the end of my drive, to make room for the linux at the beginning...
also... i have another newbie question... i have been able to edit grub.conf in text mode in RH8, but am wondering how i save the changes i made.. thanks |
please help ASAP
thanks again |
which program did u use to edit?
you can write using vim or vi press i to insert, esc to get out of insert mode, x to delete 1 character, :w to save, :q to quit (as far as u needed the commands) |
thanks for the commands... i need help with desktop mode... i used the command 'startx' and the error:
server error: no screen found a screen may have been found, but there are bad configurations (or something) thnks for any help |
yeah, can u post your output? errors ?
|
Try running xf86config as root.
|
GREAT thanks everyone...
