[hoangnd_k49cc]

Hi ! Haypy new year !
My PC : D915GAV, 2 x 256 Mb Ram, Monitor LG 505G, HDD SATA Samsung 80Gb !

I have install successfully FC4. But when run there is a error ! :

" I cannot start the X Server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X Server output to diagnose the problem ?"

I press yes ...... then i see

"Would you like me to try to run the X configuration program ? Note that you will need the root password for this"

....................

How to fix this problem ???

Thanks !

Enter the root password when the macine asks for it, then configure the X server.

Try this:
su -c "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Then a text will show up.

Look for the Section "Device" and change the Driver to vesa (as in the example):

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "vesa"
	VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
	BoardName   "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500"
EndSection

CTRL+O to save (yes, overwrite the file)
CTRL+X to exit

Then type:
startx

and it should work
