btw, i'm the one who started that thread "switching from fedora core, need advice". decided to give mandrake a try. i have to admit urpmi is pretty nice...=) fonts look different than fedora, but thats just something i'll get used to. 3 programs crashed within an hour of using it, but ehh...what ya gunna do?
anyways, on to my problem...
i took my computer to work, plugged it into a monitor from work, keyboard, mouse, network, etc. installed mandrake 10.0 (loved the partitioner installer btw) without a hitch. i played around with it some, everything was fine.
so i take my computer home, plug it into my monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. start it up, everything is fine. then i try to start X and the screen goes blank, the monitor loses signal and goes into standby mode.
ok, the XF86Config file is still set for my work monitor. i'll just use XFDrake to reconfigure it. well i did and chose my home monitor. still doesn't work.
any ideas? thanks!
Punish yourself first. <g>
Put the first install disk in the drive, go through the steps except upgrade rather than install, you'll still get a summary screen and it'll take less time to accomplish than any other method would to explain.
Seriously though; if you do actually do a "fake upgrade" you'll reset all the devices that are plaguing you, plus you'll learn which Mandrake tools to use to correct future woopsies. *All* the Mandrake tools.
XFdrake was the correct tool, something doesn't seem right if that didn't work.
Welcome, and good luck!
