Hello. I am a fairly new user to Linux. I am currently using an ihawk server from concurrent Computer systems, with Redhawk on it (Redhat). I have a problem, I think, with my monitor. Every time I boot, the system tries to load the GUI desktop but fails and returns an error of something like "failed to start display server - disabling display :0" and then it falls back to the command prompt. I am not sure what is wrong, I tried messing with XF86Config (monitor settings) but to no avail. People around my work are telling me it's something with the monitor settings in that config file but I don't know. Any help please?
Here is errors from XFree86.0.log, I am not sure what some of them mean:
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device)
(WW) ATI(0): Cannot shadow an accelerated frame buffer.
(WW) (1600x1200,DELa014) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz
(WW) (1400x1050,DELa014) mode clock 151MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found)
THat's it...fyi, "DELa014" is my monitor identifier.
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
