The video info is below. | The | | | | | vesa driver is sort of a generic driver. Is the S3 Trio listed? | | | | | | | | | | Have you tried to add the desired resolution into your xorg.conf | | file? | | | | | Say "1024x768" "800x600" in front of the "640x480" entry? | | | | | | | | | | Jim | | | | | | | | | | Monitor and Graphics | | | | | Video Integration Integrated | | | | | Installed Video Memory 4 MB | | | | | Included Video Card Graphic card - AGP - S3 Trio3D integrated | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |> | | | | |> Regards, | | | | |> Truls | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks for feedback. | | | | | | | | Yes the correct video card is Trio 64 3D and it is listed. So I went | | | | system settings ==> display and set the correct video card. | | | | | | | | Then I got an error message saying that the system would log out of X | | | | and correct an error. It never came back. So I rebooted but now the | | | | boot sequence goes to: | | | | | | | | Starting udev: (ok) | | | | Initializing hardware..... storage network audio done (ok) | | | | Configuring kernel parameters: | | | | | | | | and there it hangs unresponsive. | | | | | | | | Probably I have to start the install process over again? | | | | | | | | Regards, | | | | Truls | | | | | | I found that when hittin ctrl-C after the system hangs it actually | | | continues to boot and gives me a command line. | | | | | | The problem is that system settings - display did not update my | | | xorg.conf file correctly. The driver name for the video card was not | | | replaced with the corect one but ended up as mix of "Vesa" and | "S3Trio3D" | | | | | | I tried to correct this using vi but am not able to open the file in | | | edit modus. I'm told it is a read only file. | | | | | | Any suggestions? | | | | | | Truls | | Ok, I have followed all advices given under this thread without success. | | | | So, I did a fresh install of FC3 from the cds and the following happens. | | | | Upon installation fc doesn't recognize my video card and set it up as | | VESA generic. That works in the way that my screen background seem to | | have the correct resolution but applications and icons etc. seems work | | at 640x480. | | | | Then, when I change to video card S3 Trio64 3D and reboot I'm back to | | the original problem. The systems load all the way to: | | | | Starting udev: (ok) | | Initializing hardware..... storage network audio done (ok) | | Configuring kernel parameters: | | | | ~ <then I have to enter Ctrl-C to make it continue> | | | | INIT: Entering runlevel: 5 | | Starting readahead early: (ok) | | Checking for new hardware: (ok) | | touch: cannot touch '/var/touch/subsys/kudzu': Read-only file system | | Applying iptables: firewal rules (ok) | | touch: cannot touch '/var/touch/subsys/iptables': Read-only file system | | Starting pcmcia: (ok) | | etc | | etc | | | | Am I doing something wrong or the system? | | | | Regards | | Truls | ~ Hi, | I post this one more time to see if someone out there has the solution | to my problem. | | Thanks for valuable input Jim but it didn't work this unfortunately. | Howerever, I learned a lot so it was not waisted. | | Regard, | Truls Hi, I have tried to seek help for my problem at the test-users list but without success so I try this list in stead. Are there someone out there that might help me solve the problem? Regards Truls
