I have been itching to try linux so I downloaded
red hat 9. burned all three cd's and used those for
the install. the install went fine. red hat detected my
motherboard's video chip (intel 815), but I ignored it because I have an ATI
Radeon 7000 (which according to the hardware list, it's supported). The
ATI card is PCI, so my BIOS is configured to use it instead of my motherboard's
video. As I said, the install went fine, I was able to see everything on
my screen. During the post install configuration, I set up my ATI card for
the video (red hat picked the intel 815 instead, so I selected the Radeon 7000
from the list). Everything else was fine, so I rebooted. Red Hat
started to boot fine, I was able to watch all those messages about what it was
doing scrolling up my screen, and then my monitor went blank. The LED next
to my monitor's power switch started blinking, which signified to me that I was
no longer getting a video signal. I also have windows on this machine, so
i booted into it to make sure that my monitor wasn't screwed up.
Everything worked fine. What do I need to do to get red hat to let me see
what's going on so that I can use it?
