coverup Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 After a bit more looking around I entered the command 'startx' and it brough up this; (II) [kms] drm report modesetting isn't supported (EE) RADEON(0): chipset: "AMD RADEON HD 6800 Series" (chipID = 0x6739) requires KMS (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a useable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found Looks like the graphic server (the X server) failed to start. The X server logs used to be stored in the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It should give you a complete information about what went wrong. These days, however, most people simply try LiveCD versions first. Try it. If it works, then you can try install again. If it does not, then Mandriva may have issues with your hardware (not surprising, given that its last release was a year ago). I suggest that you try Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Fedora, or LinuxMint.
