I don't have redhat... I have Mandrake 8.1. I tried with another monitor and everything worked fine. The problem is my monitor... I can't get it to work... I tried fooling around with xvidtune... but as soon as I press NEXT (resolution), the screen turns black... can it be that my monitor supports 1024*768 in ms windows, and can't do more than 640*480 in Linux??? ----> sound pretty illogical! I tried running SuperProbe (a display recognition tool (or so it seems)) and it said "Generic VGA or Unknown SVGA" Any ideas? I tried everything I know (which is very little since I installed Linux 1 week ago). Please help me!
