Hi

i have just installed redhat on a seperate partition

i have a geforce 4 5600 FX and everytime it trys to start the X server a messege on my monitor comes up saying out of range

i set up the monitor as generic 640x480
and video card as generic vga card

as i tryed setting it as Geforce 4 before and it didn't work

im really new to linux and have no idea how to fix this

would download the new drivers for my geforce card but i cant get on the net on linux yet

hehe

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

ps

if i try redhat-config-xfree86 i get the same out of range msg

Please post your XF86Config file.

Please make sure it is that file actually being used. Many systems have multiple XF86Config files. Normally they are located in:

/etc/X11

If you have a file named:

XF86Config-4

That is probably the one being used. If you don't have one with that exact name, it is most likely the file named:

XF86Config

i cant, to be honest i'm not really sure how

i cant see my linux partition in windows XP so i dont know how to get it on here.. ?

im using the net on XP

You're going to have to figure out a way to get it off, unfortunately.

Could you put the file on a floppy? Do you have access to an FTP server or something similar, so that you could move it off using a console-based tool? Unfortunately, I doubt we can help much without seeing the configuration file.

how do i copy to a floppy ?

i did :

cp -f /etc/X11/XF86Config /mnt/floppy/

and it said it was on the floppy but its not when i look in windows?

Format the floppy first in Windows.

Then copy on over.
