Red Hat Enterprise - No Screen Found?

[dt23]

I get a fatal server error: No screens found, when I try to start X. I tried commenting out the rgbPath and FontPath lines in the XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files, as was suggested to me a long time ago for another installation (and that worked).

For some reason, it's not working on this installation. I THINK the problem might be RH not recognizing the video card... but how would I get around this?

You'll need to run one of the different modes of xf86config to reconfigure X. Try from the commandline after you have logged in as root...the command...xf86config
Your going to need info on your hardware, so take notes as you step through it...don't worry if you get something wrong its not written to file until your prompted at the end...just say 'No" if you want to change something.

Thank you for the xf86config command tip... I've tried a few different variants from the video card database, but none seem to work. It's an integrated Intel Extreme 64meg graphics card (I might need to buy a new card, I guess, but trying to avoid it if possible, as it is only for a server).

Does anyone know what I can select from the graphics card database that should work for me (in the xf86config)?

I also tried not selecting anything from the graphics card db, and just specifying the ram for the card, but that didn't work either.

My next step is to buy another graphics card... ugh.

Intel Extreme Graphics support has been added as an extension to the "i810" driver. If the distribution does not offer the option to select your graphics adapter, select "i810," "Intel 810," or the closest match to your actual chipset.
