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 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.
Thanks in
advance,
