Hi all - Does anyone know how to deal with this message?
I believe it's something to do with Linux not recognizing my video adapters, which is probably why I had to install Red Hat 7 in text mode as opposed to the fancy GUI mode at school. I completed the install and it runs fine in text mode, but if I type "startx" it looks like it's starting then I get the message above.
I was browsing the CD and found a file called drivers.img, could that be of any use and if so how?

My system is a PIII 733, 128 M/133 RAM, Aopen MX3S MOBO with onboard sound and video(Intel 82815 used for my secondary monitor), SiS 6326 video(for my primary monitor), AOpen winmodem, generic 48x CD.

I'm brand new (4 days at school) to Linux and I tried using the search but it just sits there frozen. So please don't scream at me if there is an answer to this somewhere. :D

I don't know the response time around here, but if I miss a response I will be back online this evening, gotta go to school and learn about Linux. :)

Try running xf86config and set up your card/monitor... Make sure your .xinitrc execs something that is there (ie sawfish, blackbox, etc)

Could be having problems with the onboard video (Intel 82815). I would suggest you start here (http://www.xfree86.org) to find support/options for the 82815.

Thanks Kuber and Mdwatts - I think you have put me on the right track. Now that I know how to copy a file to/from a diskette :o it looks like I need to upgrade to XFree86 4.0.2 and then 4.0.3 before I fire off the logfile with the errors.
Nothing to do with Linux, but something that I am not quite used to is buying a brand new $60 book and installing the software that comes with it, yet still have to get 2 upgrades to be up to date.

I can feel Part Doh! coming up, how to deal with all these commands. Thanks again and I'll be back with the results either way.

Thought I'd do an update here. I went and downloaded XFree86 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 upgrades reran Xconfigurator and I'm getting closer.
Now when I boot up I at least get the Gnome login window. The background resolution looks terrible and my mouse cursor is about a 1" square grey mess.
The only thing displayed is a dialog box up in the top left corner with a couple of administrative tools in it. I am lost and losing enthusiasm at this point. Anyone care to point me in the right direction here?
