Hey my fellow Linux people....

I recently decided to put RedHat 7.1 onto a machine i have (886mhz,256 sdram, ATI all in wonder Radeon AGP, SBLive Platinm 5.1, Sony Trinitron Multiscan15sf momitor)

Everything went alright.... there were default drivers for everything.... however now when i startx my monitor turns off or goes into energy saving mode.... I have no idea what this is ....

When i ctrl-alt-backspace it just says that xscreensaver couldn ot load but no matter.... and that the process was ended by my ctrl-alt-backspace...


Could somebody help me out.... If more info is need tell me and i will provide it.

Thnx

Have you tried to reconfigure X with Xconfigurator?

i have tried all of the setter uppers.....


and gone in manually do see if settings are good...

however as a little bit of more info ... since my AIW is attached to a TV i get the default gray background to come up on the tv when the monitor turns off...it is like it is defaulting to there or something but i can't use it even though the grey background may be x on the screen...


when looking at the kill squence everything looks normal.... i think....

with red hat 7.1 with the version of x that came with it .... what is the config file

XF86Config.... or XF86Config-4 ?

i have tried editing both ... but neither did anything ... i jsut want to know so i don't have to do any future double editing

Well her is the solution .... thnx to everyone for input the lucky person who solved it was J .... don't know your name but you rule man.

At the back unplug all of the external lines except your monitro and it runs fine..... basically unplug the tv reboot linux and it is good.

Thank you everyone ... i am typing this in nix now and i love it =)

but no cables are connected in the back..just the monitor cable..and it still dont work.

How can i fix it?
