Hi! I am new to Linux. I wanted to load Linux on my PC. The version I tried out was PCQLinux 7.1 (That was the only version I could lay my hands on.)
I tried loading Linux with graphics (GNOME & KDE both) on my PC. The partition, formatting and preliminary installation was so smooth, I could not believe. Then came Trouble with T capital! The setup would not recognise my Graphics Adapter and Monitor. I have a P4 with MSI6526G motherboard. It uses Intel 845G chipset with integrated graphics controller. I have 128 MB of PC2100 DDR RAM. I have Samsung SyncMaster 753s monitor. The setup autoprobed to "Generic VGA compatible" and "DDC probed Monitor -> SAM0027" Both my Monitor and Graphics controller were absent in the list. Intel 810 and 815 chipsets, however appeared in the adapter list in the setup. I tried all combinations and everytime it failed to show up a decent graphics trial screen. When I ignored the settings, and proceeded to complete the setup, it gave a flickering screen on startup, even before taking any login ID. As I am new, the text mode of linux is not all that helpful. If somebody can help me in some way, I would be grateful. Thanks in Advance, -Krishna. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
