ianw1974 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Login with your username and password that you set up. Then type the following: su (supply root password when prompted) mcc then choose display using the arrow keys, tab key to move to OK button, and enter to select OK. Then go through the options, and test it to make sure it works, then you should hopefully be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Did you install any vendor- specific nvidia or ATi video drivers? It seems that the gl module is already loaded, so a second attempt to load it fails. The reason is (usually) a duplicate entry at /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you have to remove one reference to the gl driver to get your X running.

Guest taylanator Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Well, I have a intel graphics chip, 915 so the drivers apear in the linuxs' list but it doesn't seem to be working. I tried mcc to change the display settings but NONE of the resolution/color depth resolutions work! I tried almost all of them if not all and when I got to test it, it starts but them comes up with the same error message. so what do I do know? I am sure it is something simple I almost have it running just need to find out how to get the gui up. PLEASE help, thanks for the help so far guys. keep it commin and I am sure someone smart will find out what it is. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taylanator Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Which graphic card do you use? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes thank you, I know that I duplicated it, it was on acident, I put it in the wrong category, I know the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Have you tried visiting the Intel site, and downloading their driver? I have an Intel 82852/82855 card in my laptop, and couldn't get it to work with the ones with native 10.1 Official, although it would with LE2005. Chances are you'll need to download their driver, but make sure you're kernel-source is installed before you install, else you'll get problems.

scarecrow Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Login as root urpmi mc mc Navigate to the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, press F4 to edit it, and comment (by adding # at the start of the line) whatever refers to "glx" or "libgl- something". Press F2 to save. Open another virtual console (alt+ctrl+F2 to F6), login as normal user and then run "startx" again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEberger Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 so on mandrake 10.1, we had to use the vesa driver on my wife's card (geforce fx) to get the drivers. perhaps you might have to set your driver to something fairly rudimentary to get things to work.

scarecrow Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) The part of your xorg.conf file that refers to the graphics card should use "i810", that is something like that: Section "Device" Identifier "devname" Driver "i810" ... EndSection After editing, start X. For more details about this driver, check here If you still have issues then it should be something kernel related (actually I don't think so, the kernel revision used in 2005LE is fairly new).

DragonMage Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Try disabling ACPI. I found out that some integrated graphic solutions simply won't work if ACPI is enabled. At the lilo screen, press ESC, then type linux acpi=off If it works, use Mandriva Control Center to disable ACPI. It's in boot section I believe.
