Red Hat 7.2 I am trying to build a kickstart floppy. When I run the ks.cfg listed below, I get the following error:

Standard errors from startx were redirected to a file and is attached with this message. The screen blacks out after 'Initializing system' and while 'Initializing peripherals', afterwards it seems to continue initializing sound card (startup audio is heard), etc. Any other error catching logging suggestions ? Also I had X running via startx previously, but due to a mishap, entire hard disk was wiped out and the trouble is after reinstall which is thru a RH boxed set. thanks sriram ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Firla" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 11:09 PM Subject: Re: startx and Blank screen > > Perhaps you can post the relevant output from /var/log/messages > > Ian > > ------------ > Dr Ian Firla > Robert Graves Trust | "A partial count of the software available > St John's College, Oxford | in just one noncommerical Linux system > OX1 3JP - +44-(0)7855-310565 | would have cost about $1.9 billion to develop > http://www.robertgraves.org | ... the way Microsoft does it" Bruce Perens > > > On Fri, 17 Jan 2003, Shriram NK wrote: > > > Hello, > > I do not know if this is the proper forum, if not my apologies and a pointer to FAQ/user group to solve my problem will be greatly appreciated. > > > > The problem: > > I have a HP Pavillion N3390 Laptop > > Monitor adapter - Silicon Lynx 3DM > > Monitor - Unknown (14 " laptop display panel) > > RH 7.1 being run > > The OS has been installed and set to run in text mode. > > After running 'Xconfigurator' and setting up Vertical frequencies, Display type, etc ; the configurator makes a 'test display' of KDE desktop properly. Subsequently when 'startx' is given the X session starts up, but within 5 seconds while its still initializing the peripherals, the screen goes blank. ctrl-alt-+ OR ctrl-alt-minus OR ctrl-alt-backspace do not seem to have any effect and I have to reboot.
