is there any way to change monitor settings in a distro of RedHat Linux 8.0 (actually Pink Tie Linux, but identical to R.H.)
I got it installed just fine, and can easily use the text installation, but I seem to have an issue with my monitor settings, THe terminal window shows up fine graphically, but the GUI stuff (xfree86, Gnome, KDE) will not work when I try to run it.. I seem to have an issue with Horiz. hold and Vert. hold on the monitor, I have the specifications to make these changes to the monitor settings in the installation, my trouble is when I run installation I dont get any place where I can input this data. The monitor is an off-brand VGA monitor, and is not listed in the drivers, and I can use the command line interface stuff, but I can't seem to find where to go to make the changes to monitor settings. I would like to get the GUI working, even though I am practicing working without a mouse (point and click, my butt! I like command line stuff, but cant seem to make use of the graphical interfaces when I need them, due to monitor issue)
Can anyone tell me how to access the config file for this issue and where to make the needed changes? Ive seen a couple similar problems posted here, but none of them seem to be what I am looking for.
Thanks much!
Bri!
