Is it the LCD monitor? I doubt that it is due to the video driver for XFree86. The new Linux may use new version of XFree86 video driver and new driver may drop support for old video hardware. I have the same experience. XFree86 3.X supports S3 Trio 64V+ while the update Linux I installed use XFree86 4.X. 4.X drops support for the video chipset. So please check yr video chipset is supported by the version of XFree86 comes with your Linux 7.0 Terry Porter wrote: > > On Thu, 17 May 2001 23:09:06 +0800, > Jerry Wong <jerrywong@ctimail3.com> wrote: > > Can anybody help? > > > > > > X_ESP ¼¶¼g©ó¤å³¹ <3AFFB96A.6DB36C46@hotmail.com>... > >>I am using CTX PV520 LCD monitor... > >>after I installed Linux 7.0, I cannot use graphical login.... > >>I tried all the generic monitor type in Xconfigurator but it didn't > >>help... > >>Please help me ...thanks a lot > >> > >> > > > Perhaps there is no Linux driver (yet) for this display ? > > I have a LCD display (2x20) that runs from a parallel port > and displays uptime, cpu load, time of day, and ram usage > but thats the extent of my Linux LCD experience. > > -- > Kind Regards > Terry > -- > **** **** > My Desktop is powered by GNU/Linux. > 1972 Kawa Mach3, 1974 Kawa Z1B, .. 15 more road bikes.. > Current Ride ... a 94 Blade > Free Micro burner: http://jsno.downunder.net.au/terry/ > ** Registration Number: 103931, http://counter.li.org **
