Hey Everybody,
So I'm taking a Linux class right now, but unfortunately, it doesn't
continue until next week, hence the question I pose to you today. Please
keep in mind, this might be a stupid newbie question...
I have installed Redhat Linux 8.0 on my Compaq Presario 1200 laptop. I
installed everything because we are learning how to use all features of
Linux for class. Anyways, during the end of the installation, I don't
believe they detected my screen or video card, which I have no clue what it
is. After the installation, i type startx in root, and it spits this out...
---------------
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Tue Jul 8 11:32:39 2003
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()
Fatal Server error:
no screens found
When reporting a problem.....
XIO: fatal error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
----------------
can someone tell me what to do? I don't even know how to get back to the
screen which you can change the monitor settings.
please keep in mind I have no Linux related exprience at all, so if you
could do me a favor and tell me exactly what to type, i'd really appreciate
it. like exactly what to type. Thank you in advance...and if someone has
some great sites to check out for newbies, i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!!!!
