Hi,
I am trying to install RH 7.2 on a VIA motherboard having ProSavageDDR (Mfg. by S3) video controller. The installation options for X server configuration does not list out and specific X server for the above chipset, hence I am forced to use the Generic Savage server. But when I try to test the server during configuration, it gives a blank screen. The monitor I am using is Samtron 753s, which is again not listed in the
Refer to the documentation of your monitor, there you will find the Horiizontal and vertical sync rates. They would be something like 30-50 KHhz for H. Sync. and 50-120 Hz for V. Sync. Use values as mentioned in the documentation instead of using most of the other generic case which is just trial and error method.
default hardware list. I've tried using different color depths & screen resolutions, but still the blank screen. The rest of the installation goes smoothly. I am trying to set up a graphical login. Post installation, when I try to start linux, the X server fails to start. I keep getting the error message, X server failed to start, no screens found. I suspect, it is the video driver issue, and there is a specific driver for the above vid controller available on the net. My issue is, being a newbie, how can I install this driver and/or install the X server. My RH7.2 install comes with XFree86 X server, version 4.1.0. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Do a desktop installation, it is fast and easy and also you wont have to bother about if the X is installed or by mistake you unselected the X Server, etc..
Thanks in advance,
