Hello,
I do not know if this is the proper forum, if not my apologies and a pointer to
FAQ/user group to solve my problem will be greatly appreciated.
The problem:
I have a HP Pavillion N3390 Laptop
Monitor adapter - Silicon Lynx 3DM
Monitor - Unknown (14 " laptop display panel)
RH 7.1 being run
The OS has been installed and set to run in text mode.
After running 'Xconfigurator' and setting up Vertical frequencies, Display type
, etc ; the configurator makes a 'test display' of KDE desktop properly.
Subsequently when 'startx' is given the X session starts up, but within 5
seconds while its still initializing the peripherals, the screen goes blank.
ctrl-alt-+ OR ctrl-alt-minus OR ctrl-alt-backspace do not seem to have any
effect and I have to reboot. Doesnt even go back to text mode !!!
I have followed most readily accessible RH FAQs and XFree86 FAQs and tried
various things without luck.
A solution to above will be greatly appreciated, an explanation of this
peculiar behaviour, even more so.
regards
sriram
