Hi List, I think this is a tough one.
This morning I formatted my hard disk and installed Mandrake 9.2 (I was previously running 9.1). The installation went fine, but X is not starting on boot. When I type 'startx' the screen flashes several times, then I get the following error: START------ Using vt7 (EE) NVIDIA(0): No modes remaining for display device CRT-0 (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration Fatal server error: no screens found When reporting server errors, please send the ful..... bla bla bla... XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 kinown processed) with 0 events remaining END-------- I formated my hard disk again and tried to install Mandrake 9.1, and it too gave the same problem! I then formatted again and installed Fedora Core 1 - it worked fine. Of course, I don't want Fedora, I want Mandrake. I suspect maybe I'm specifying the wrong monitor model during installation? Fedora doesn't ask for it, but Mandrake doesn't detect the correct one. I have a MAG 996PF2 (19") on an nvidia GeForce 2. Of course, Mandrake does have a list of MAG monitors to choose from, but as usual with my hardware, mine isn't listed. I don't think it should be a problem - this monitor was working perfectly under 9.1 before I formatted. Can anyone help me? Keith
