RE: [Newbie]Linux Graphical Installer that works with Digital LCD Panel

[Cary Pembleton]

I would go with the RH 7.2 distribution and at the first install prompt screen type “text”. This would get you through the installation process and then you could have it come up in run mode 3 until you could get the X problems sorted out.   PC Networks, Inc. and KY4U, LLC Cary Pembleton 32 Cove LN Campbellsville, KY 42718 270-469-4405 Office 270-469-9104 Fax mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] E-mail http://www.ky4u.com/ Corporate Site http://www.clickonamovie.com/ Project Site   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Judd Volino Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 2:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Newbie]Linux Graphical Installer that works with Digital LCD Panel   I would like to evaluate some different Linux distributions, but am having difficulty getting my digitally connected (DVI-D) LCD display to work during setup with the first I am trying (Redmond Linux/Lycoris).   My problem comes during the second phase of installation -- the bootstrap part of setup displays fine (even though it's graphical) but when it tries to start the main part of install, my LCD isn't getting a proper signal.   I think the conundrum is that the installer doesn't give me the opportunity to specify that I don't have an analog monitor.   Can anyone recommend a distribution that's easy enough for a newbie, but that will install correctly with a digital display?  (I have an AGP-interface Elsa Gladiac 511 -- nvidia GeForce2MX based -- connected to a Princeton Graphics DPP560 1024x768 monitor)   Also, if I do have to get into "modelines" and such, is there any alternative to this source I found: http://www.hoagy.org/hacks/lcdx11.html  (i.e. something more like an autoconfigure).   Thanks, Judd Volino
