Xserver Problem! NO GUI
what's up everyone--
____________________________ I'm running mandriva 2006 and I'm having a problem getting the Xserver to run____RESULTING IN NO GUI!!! 1- As root I use the XFdrake command and select vesa and select 1280x1024monitor and 640x480 resolution---- when I test it I just get a quick color flashes and then a black screen that makes me login agian! 2- As root I use the "startx" command____RESULTING IN xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.5282 Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. _______________________________________________________ Being that this computer was given to me (I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TYPE OF GRAPHICS CARD I HAVE!) Everything including the GUI was working before.... until KDE started crashing! So I chose to reinstall the OS and now I cant seem to get the Xserver GUI to run again!!!!! THIS IS REDICULOUS!! I dont know what else to try! I've looked at every similar post there is and still nothing works. :mad: can anyone help? P.SThis is my first time using linux! --------------------- >>BLACKHOLE<< +No knowlegde or information can escape my dense gravitational pull<< ~in order to reach the glory of enlightment ____________________ one must first tread the void of darkness~ >>BLACKHOLE<< 2006-(-_+) |
Use the command
Code:
$ lspci |
No Xserver GUI
Thanks for the suggestion--
___________________________ As root I use the command lspci and I get- 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 02) SOLUTION: The 815 was in my list, I chose that instead of vesa. "WAA-LAA" GUUUIIIIII :) [HELP=APPRECIATED AND PRICELESS] _______________ >>BLACKHOLE<< +No knowledge or information can escape my dense gravitational pull<< KNOWLEDGE IS NOW PULLED IN FOR ETERNITY >>>>>|<<<<< >>BLACKHOLE<< 2006-(-_+) |
