Hello everybody,Try to do some troubleshooting to rule out potential problems.
Yesterday one my HD under Windows died (RIP) and I decided to make an installation with RH 8.0.
First problem : when Anaconda tries to go on installation screen, all become black, and everything looks like it was crashed.
So I launched the installation on text mode, and everything was OK, all products were detected (not for my iiYama screen, which was not seen).
Second problem, installation of XF86, I have a black screen too at the test step to see if all is OK ; my screen is not detected, but it is very strange to crash the computer. I must begin the installation again, because no XF86config file is created when everything is black.
Do you know what's going on ? I have a MSI mothercard with the chipset nForce 1 (nVidia), and a iiYama MT900 1600*1200 maximum.
Best regards,
Alexis
It sounds to me like the box may not be crashing, but that the video card is trying to drive the monitor in a refresh rate (not the same as resolution) that the monitor doesn't support, and the monitor is turning
off.
Can you use "CTRL F1" or "CTRL F2" key-press combinations to get back to a console after starting X and getting a black screen?
Have you tried configuring X for a Generig SVGA setting and seen if that
works?
You may find that you have to make a custom mode line for XF86Config to
get a refresh rate that works.
Tell us what your results are.
