bradcarter Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Ok, I have a guy here that is having some problems with XFree86 on redhat 7.2. He wants to use redhat 7.2 as it is the same as the webserver so he can play with it with a simular envinronment. Ok as soon as x tries to start it immediatly crashes with (--) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Time: blah(--) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found I had the same problem with beta 2 of mandrake 9 and running the installer again and choosing XFree86 3.3.6 fixed that. But I guess the redhat install doesnt allow for choice in that regard (I dont have access to machiene we are on opposite coasts) I am thinking maybe dropping a version might fix it, but how can this be done from the command line? can you simply type: rpm -ivh /thefiles.. and have it work? You might be able to get more detailed description of what is going on here: http://llamasery.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=765 You may need to scroll down a bit to get to the problem his first one was resolved Thanks guys, he is close to using linux dont want to loose one back to redmond lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
