I installed the x86_64 fedora core 2 dual booting with windows xp.
successfully loaded the Via Velocity network drivers
downloaded the ATI drivers for xorg, from what I can tell, I am using Xorg 6.7, (really dont know anything about linux, so I could be wrong).
Followed their instructions, after I reboot, linux loads, it shows the text login prompt, it then usually loads up the graphical login, then KDE. But with drivers loaded it just goes to a black screen, signal light on monitor shows up, but just a blank screen.
I used a live cd to reset the xorg.conf file and have tried a couple HOWTO's and used many example xorg.conf files with the exact same results. I also tried using the the xfree86 driver and got the same result.
What am I doing wrong here?
using
ATI Radeon 9600XT, built by ATI
Soltek K8Tpro-939 mainboard
3200+ athlon 64
1 GB ram
Hitachi CML174SX 17" LCD, tried using DVI and Analog cables
kernel is what came on the DVD, 2.5.? maybe?
