Where to get X help?

[ivaldes1]

Hello all, X doesn't start on FC2, giving errors. What is the best place to get help for this?

Thank you for your reply. Here's my shortened x.log b/c it wouldn't allow the whole thing. I've attached the whole thing:

Can you post your X cofiguration file?

should be in /etc/X11 as xorg.conf

[ivaldes1]

Here's my XF86Config file. This is a dual-head GE Force MX 200 PCI and a Radeon 7500 All-in-Wonder AGP. The .txt extension was added for upload. Thanks!

[Thoreau]

whew, i'm not sure. If i had this problem, i'd try each one on thier own, see if that worked. Then try both of them again. Or i would compile(from source) a new kernel to see if that fixed it. Hopfully someone else will help on this

[crackers]

As root, run

Xorg -configure

This will write a new, autodetected xorg.conf to the directory you run the program from. You should not be in the /etc/X11 directory when you do this. You will then be given instructions on how to test the configuration (which I strongly recommend doing). Then it's a matter of finishing it off with your depth/modeline preferences and putting it in it's proper place.

[ivaldes1]

Thanks for the information. I tried Xorg -configure but unfortunately the resulting file didn't work. However, I do understand now that my old XF86Config file that previously worked on RH9 isn't the one that is running for /etc/X11/ at all. I tried my previously working XF86Config file that used to work for RH 9 it and it didn't work either. Here's my current try xorg.conf and logfile. Thanks!

I have a ATI Radeon 9600SE and I got same error "no screens found" and my X11 log file looks exactly like yours.
I also can't mount the Windows partition getting the message ntfs parttion not suportted.
It is my first instalation and I am kind in big trouble . I am wonderin how I will install my WLAN card on my desktop

[Twey]

The logfile is mentioning an ATI device, yet the config file specifies an NVIDIA device. Could this be the problem?

Hello there, I am new with Fedora Cora 4. I am trying to switch to Linux from Windows XP and just installed FC4 for my 4th time. The problem I have is related to the display setting. It seems like FC4 is set up correctly for my NEC MultiSync LCD1530V monitor, but I am unable to see anything on the screen when FC4 is running. The screen shows up scrambled with weird colors and I can barely make out the words "Fedora" running across the screen.

I suspect it is because of my video card, but have not been able to find much help on that issue. My video card is All-In-Wonder 128 Pro Ultra AGP. I do not use the root command, I use the graphic interface to set up my FC4 on my computer.

Thanks in advance if someone can help me out.
