Hello:
Do you get to a black screen prompting for a login?
From there, can you get to the gui login screen by using
Ctrl Alt F7 ?

Hello:
When grub comes up, hit enter, then type e to edit and at the end of you kernel boot line add: mode=vesa
it should look like this
....... rhgb quiet mode=vesa
then type b to boot
And see if that gets you to where you can log in and then fix up your display / graphics
system-config-display

thanku seve now its booting nice

but what is the problem there

1.while the gui screen is starting below the screen width of taskbar is appearing with lot of colors (only that perticular area is appearing like that) and it is going on smooth.

what might be the problem. is with resolution my monitor is SyncMaster 763DFX -17' flat.

[neelendhar]

seve default resolution is 1280*1024
i changed it to 1024*768 using Display kmenu->system->display

but resolution is remaining same.

Hello:
Glad you got it up and running ... nice to see colors?

The problem is likely with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
This can be fixed, however, it is probably a better idea to do a few other things before you get to that.

First you need to open a terminal and type
system-config-display
and check the hardware tabs to make sure that your videocard and your monitor settings make sense.
If you make any changes, save and exit, then Ctrl Alt Backspace to restart your X server.

Then, from the same terminal type
system-config-services
and disable
yum-updatesd
save and exit
[there are other services which you can disable later]

Reboot your FC and when it comes up open a terminal and log in as root using
su -
yourpassword
and
type
yum update yum
then
yum install yumex
then
yum update

to update your system to the latest.
When it is done updating, exit the terminal and reboot your FC again.
You will have a new default kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6, which you can select to boot from. If it hangs, then add the mode=vesa as before.
Once your system is updated we can move on to correct your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

yeah Seve i already updated all yum packages now i think it is enough to update only Xorg packages

[Seve]

Hello:
Can you open a terminal and type:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
and
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW
and
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and post the output of each

Also, what type of video card do you have?

Seve

[neelendhar]

Seve,

i attached the outputs of the commands

and coming to video card is default video card with intel Motherboard D845GVAD2.

Hello:
You probably want to install the 915resolution rpm
some info:

PHP Code:

915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900 series
Intel graphics chipsets. This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets,
as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary
to allow the display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86
graphics server.

915resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of
permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that 915resolution must
be run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect.

915resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the code
differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler.
915resolution also allows the modification of bits per pixel. 


You can get the rpm here: http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/package...tion/info.html

Hello, what type is your monitor? Is it a LCD? Maybe it could be the refresh rate. FC6 default install doesn´t add the "monitor" section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Some monitors go black when your system is sending incorrect refresh rates. Limiting it to 60Hz sometimes do the trick.

Try this post and see if it helps!

Hi. Just saw it. You do have a "Monitor" section:

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	ModelName    "Monitor 1024x768"
 ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
	HorizSync    31.5 - 57.0
	VertRefresh  50.0 - 70.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Try lowering the VertRefresh to "50.0 - 60.0".
