THIS IS WITH REF TO DETECTION PROBLEM IN MONITOR WHILE
INSTALLING RED HAT LINUX 8.0 ON VIA CHIPSET INTEL 4 MOTHERBOARD. MY XWINDOW SESSION IS NOT ABLE TO DETECT ANY OF THE MONITORS. I HAD TRIED WITH PROVIEW THEN NOW I M USING WITH MICROTEK SOMEHOW IT REFUSES TO DETECT IT. SIR PLS MAIL ME AT U'RE EARLIEST WITH SUGGESTION.
Please post your XFree86 log, your distro version, the output of 'lspci', and the exact words of any other error messages. Preferably not in all capital letters, since it's very hard to read and is considered impolite in email.
For you information, re-posting an identical copy of a question is also considered rather impolite, and may cause people who were otherwise going to reply to your message when they got a chance to ignore you instead. If they haven't answered the first time, then they haven't yet seen the message, haven't the time to answer, don't know the answer, etc. For example, I haven't read my mail in 3 days (for once!) so I only just saw your messages.
Reading over your post again, it looks like this is an issue with installation, rather than running XFree86. If so, this is the wrong place to ask - try a local Linux user group or your distro's support offerings. Here are a few ideas to get you started: It doesn't really matter if the installer can detect your monitor or not. Just select a suitable generic type - most of the installers have reasonable values for 'generic 17" ', etc. Alternately, if it's not correctly identifying your video card, you may be able to get it to work by specifying the 'vesa' driver instead.
