Linux Setup Doesn't Detect My Monitor
I have an old Compaq Deskpro (Pentium 200MHz, 64 MB, 6.5 GB)with a Samsung Syncmaster 3Ne (CQP 4147D) Monitor on an S3 Trio 2 MB onboard VGA.
When I attempt to setup Redhat 8, setup successfully probes for VGA but says its unable to probe for the monitor. When attempting to start GUI based setup, it fails. Saying Xserver failed to load.
If I run setup on 'linux text' mode, it runs, but not completely.
Somewhere while copying RPMs, setup fails.
Any comments?
