well here goes... i got an old compaq deskpro (yes, a stupid mistake...
but it was cheap) and wanted to load red hat 7.0 on it and possibly use
the deskpro as a intranet server so that i could learn how to set a
server up.
everything loads fine but when the system tries to go into x and give me
a login screen, the monitor makes a poping sound and the screen goes
blank.
same thing with mandrake and caldera.
the screen stays blank. i have gone into the bios and disabled pnp and
energy saver but that does not help.
i have been going through the faq's and the only thing i have found out
is that compaq did some strange things around the mbr.
i have no other options open to me and would appreciate any help anyone
can give concerning this.
thanks
jim s.
