compaq deskpro - the sequel;
the pop sound is more like the monitor shutting off than any sort of safety device.
Huh? Shutting off the monitor is exactly what one would expect a safety device to do.
the reason i want to install graphics is that i want to use webmin for configuration of samba apache etc. i am assuming that graphics has to be installed to use webmin.
You do not need to have the X server running on the local CRT in order to use X through the network.
any other suggestions based on the info. above would be appreciated.
I am not sure whether you said if you can boot up and log in through a text mode terminal. If you do that and type 'startx' you should see some messages on the text mode console that might be useful---things like what video clock settings it is trying to use. If RedHat has set it up so that you need X to log in, your first job is to break out of that stupidity and just get a working text mode. -- -- Keith Wright <kwright@free-comp-shop.com> Programmer in Chief, Free Computer Shop <http://www.free-comp-shop.com> --- Food, Shelter, Source code. ---
