When I run Xconfig it gives me an error after it tries to start my X
windows
saying that X won't run right.  When I try to run X windows (Gnome) I
can't
see any words because all text and window backgrounds are black.  Gnome
does
start up and run, I just can't see any wording but all windows seem to
work
properly.

My guess is that this may be a hardware problem since it is discovered
when
I try to config my hardware for X windows.  Could someone please help me
fix
the problem.

System information:
Diamond A50 Video Card
Sony 100-ES monitor
Redhat Linux
2.2.5-15 Kernel
AMD 450-2 processor on an ASUS motherboard
Gnome X windows system

Please send replies to my email address
origami_grid@hotmail.com

Thanks in Advance,

Eric Larson
