So I was at the linux show today and ran into someone that was having problems with X-Windows on a Micron Laptop running RedHat 7.0, unfortunately I can't remember who it was -- well, as soon as I got back to the office, I checked on some stuff, and was able to pull of xwindows! *yay*...sooooo..here's what I had to do...obviously no guarantee that it'll work since this is the only machine I've tried it on, but... Install RedHat 7.0 completely with XWindows, and skip the XWindows configuration, it won't work. when you get back to thec command line, run Xconfigurator, and choose Cirrus Logic GD754x (laptop) as your card, then choose custom for the monitor. For the horizontal sync range of your monitor, choose Super VGA 1024 x 768 @ 87 MHz interlaced, 800 x 600 @ 56 Hz. Choose 50-70 for the vertical sync range of your monitor, choose to probe, and accept the default which *should* be Color Depth: 8 bits per pixel Resolution 800 x 600. voila c'est finis! Thank you for your help today! Liz Burke-Scovill -- Imagination is intelligence having fun... e-mail: kethry at winternet.com URL: http://WWW.winternet.com/~kethry/index.html
