i recently installed red hat 9 .. installation was fine.. but the problem is after logging in and typing startx, i get the error " no screens found" ...

i should tell u tht while config. graphics card in the setup, i used the "default" option coz my onboard card was not shown ( my mobo is asus k8-smx)

pls help..

Why use Red Hat 9? There are 3 versions after that and fourth one is about to come!! For customised distro based on Fedora Core 3 (Red Hat 12), buy the March 2005 issue of PCQuest

As tuxfan said, better try Fedora or another newer linux distro, the chance of your card being supported is more

if u have installed graphics like (gnome or kde) then use the following command
# redhat-config-xfree86

and follow the screen instruction ( please take very good care of it's resolution i,e horizontal and vertical if all of them fails then feed 30-50 for horizontal and 50-70 for vertical)
