Hey guys,

I have an LG R405, it has an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 card in it.

During the Fedora 9 installation(which started in text), I got a message saying couldn't configure X. I tried installing other distros as well, but nothing worked graphical.


Any help on that?

Thanks,

Wanas

Dear Sender, if you have a car and you call your vendor and tell him "I
bought a mercedes with a 150 horse power engine. my car doesn't drive but
I pressed the start button" he can't help you, the same as we ...

more detailled informations about CPU, RAM, HDD, error messages will be
helpfull to -maybe- help you.

See your answer soon :-)

regards

Gerold

I'd say start with the log for X

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

could have useful info in it.

Ok,


/var/log/Xorg.0.log



could have useful info in it.*It's too big, so I searched for the stuff that starts with "(EE)". I'm copying from the laptop to here by hand so bare with me. Line number and content:


99 : (EE) Failed to load module "interlmaster" (module does not exist, 0)
284 : (EE) Failed to load module "intelbatchbuffer" (module does not exist, 0)
391 : (EE) open /dev/fb0 : No such file or directory


Here are the last two lines:

405 : Fatal server error :
406 : Caught signal 11. Server aborting

I'm not an X dev, so can't comment on this, but what happens if you try
using VESA instead of the Intel driver?


for instance, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the Driver line in the
Device section to

Driver "vesa"
then try starting X again.

that should at least give you a working screen, even if the resolution
might be off.


other than that... try updating the system, in case the bug has been
caught and fixed already? (yum upgrade)
