install errors

[engrpiman]

Hi,

I am trying to install FC 6 32 and my displays (2) go out when it loads the x-server

i have a core 2 duo E6400, ASUS PEB-e motherboard and a 7900gt . 2 SATA drives 2 IDE DVD drives , an audigy 2 zs and a ati TV tuner.

i want to dual boot with XP.

i have tried:

linux all-generic-ide
linux all-generic-ide irqpoll pci=nommconf
linux pci=nommconf

and setting the display to different resolutions

any ideas

thanks

Can you get a text login ? ( ctrl alt F6 )

if so login as root then edit your xorg.conf

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

add this section

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "auto"
ModelName "auto-detect"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

make sure that the driver is set to vesa

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 7600 GT"
EndSection

and check that you have this section as well

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

exit nano and reboot
