308206 2004-12-29 09:05:00 I got a whole load of wavy colours and then it crashed (X not the PC). I think the wavy colours were in 1024x768 though, so we might have got somewhere ;)

I had to use the good old console to restore my backup of xorg.conf, which I will send to you.

If you can play around with that to the point where it works, I will be very very happy indeed :).

Cheers George

308207 2004-12-29 10:16:00 Did you try adding "1024x768" before the "800x600" "640x480" ?

Do that on both the 'Mode' lines and it should sort itself out.

Perhaps I should have bothered to look at such obvious things before making this post! I will try it next time I go into linux.

308209 2004-12-29 10:21:00 Ah well, we've all gotta start somewhere...
I got a lot of experience hacking up my XF86Config file when I was running Lycoris and it didnt like my kernel mixed with the nVidia drivers.

308210 2004-12-29 11:17:00 Great news - I'm in 1024x768.

Thanks very much for the help. My next query:

How do I get it to read my NTFS drive? It better be able to...

When I try to mount it it says:

[root@localhost george]# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel


So, is there something I can get to make it read NTFS?

308211 2004-12-29 19:58:00 Im not sure how Redhat configure their kernel, but try:
modprobe ntfs

Modprobing is basically loading up the drivers (Modules) for XYZ.
Otherwise google for Captive-NTFS


Chill.

308212 2004-12-30 06:49:00 Have a look at this site for NTFS RPMs for Fedora:

linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net

Use the NTFS rpm on rpm.livna.org I think!?!? or one of the repository, that way when it's updated you can update it easily.
