system-config-display was depracted since the native detection works for most
combinations, but not all :(, I have been also at this end, but youc an fix it
as following:
You have two options
1) as root user (su -c )
# yum install system-config-display
and use
$ system-config-display
to setup/configure your system
2) use
# Xorg -configure
You should see something like
Your xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf.new
To test the server, run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new'
test it using that and if it works, you as root user (su -) copy the file over
to /etc/X11
# cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then change as root user
# /etc/inittab
from 3 to 5 so that the system starts in level 5 with gui :)
Regards,
Antonio
