Problem loading Display
 

I have a problem loading linux now, it loads all the services and as it starts to load my Logon Manager it blacks out and I get a black screen with a X mouse cursor...it beeps a couple of times and moves the cursor a bit, then i get a blue info thing that says: after i hit enter the system just stops everything again and im left with a black screen with the X cursor again, I can move the cursor and i can press caps, scroll and num lock but thats all the response i get from the computer after that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Was the right video card picked at the installation stage? what are the errors given on XFree logs and syslogs??

D

Ive had Redhat working before..this problem came out of nowhere when i started up my system.

I have a nVideo Geforce4 that is recognised when the computer loads because it says the video card info before loading the bios

I cant get to any thing so i cant even see the error logs

You still should be able to get to a console, Ctrl-Alt-F1

I would say is a refresh rate issue.

What is your distro?
what is in your /var/log/XFree86.0.log ?
To post the contents of the file here do as follows:
# mount /floppy
# cp /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 /floppy
# cp /var/log/XFree86.0.log /floppy
-come here and do a copy-paste dance

If you using Debian try: # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
fix the refresh rates for your monitor.

if you using a different distro, then manually edit: /etc/X11/XFConfig-4
try using 'vi' or 'vim' to edit it (IE. /etc/X11$ vim XFree86-4)
