fedora 10 cannot detect monitor *help*

[kuiH | samosA]

hi. a 2 day fedora noobie here.

i was looking around. and after 5-6 hours. i still cant find a way to get it done.

here is my problem:

i installed fedora 10 via vmware. and. its seems that after i click the hardware tab. and change my resolution, it looks like its not detecting my monitor.

i've done almost everything i know. i enabled my graphic card. but i dunno whether its working or not.

i've enable compiz-fusion. same thing. dunno whether its working or not.

so please help me figure this out. thank you in advance.

Your VM session is... a VM session.

Your VM session is not going to detect any of your physical hardware. It's only going to detect whatever virtual hardware VMWare is presenting to it. That includes your monitor. Fedora is going to detect the monitor that VMWare tells it exists, probably some generic VESA display.

I hope i'm not stating the obvious here.. :)

Cheers,
Bowie

Here's a tutorial from google:

http://codingpad.maryspad.com/2009/03/05/installing-fedora-10-to-dual-boot-with-windows-xp/

Remember, google is your friend. There are a lot of tutorials online. If not for fedora in particular, then for Ubuntu, which is also RH based, IIRC.

You should also be able to search dual-boot on the forum itself.

Cheers. Hope it helps. All the best.

jajabor sorry but Ubuntu is Debian based not RH at all ;) but for lots of things if it's Linux then there are commonalities that may make the most google results useful and try google/linux for more specific results.

Enjoy the Choice :)
