Hi everyone,
I am very new to linux and really the IT industry. Im currently
studying network engineering, we have only completed our first semester. I
have installed linux 8.0 on a separate hard drive on my computer. My
computer is very old. Its a P1 200mmx with 256mb SDRAM. The video adapter is
a S3 Trio64v2-dx/gx (775/785) Memory 2mb.
The install went fine and did everything it should have. When
you reboot the bootloader works fine and allows u to choose either linux or
dos. It then runs through a sequence saying everything is ok. when it tries
to display the GUI interface for login and password it is distorted. After
pressing entera couple of times it returns to the command line for login and
password, which it excepts. I then type startx at the command line and it
goes to a error screen. This is below. I think it has something to do with
the video and monitor. Please help as I am trying to get a head start on
understanding linux before the start of this semester as one of the tasks is
to build a network using linux 8.0 Please help or can you send me in the
right direction for some answers.
Regards
Craig
