Dear all
Thanks to everyone who replied on this one. I've had several independent
problems over the last few days including a lighting problem and a complete
XP crash (blue screen) so I've lost the original messages - hence I can't
just reply. Back to the plot - we were at the stage of me posting my
xorg.conf and xorg.0.log. Both of these are given below.
I'm totally out of my depth here I'm afraid. According to xorg.0.log, 2
cards seem to have been detected - one which is nvidia 6100 (which is not
the card I have inside so I assume that's the onboard). The other - which
should be an 8400 seems to have been misdetected "chipset unknown". I've
had a fiddle with org.conf using vi but I'm still getting errors.
To be honest, I don't particularly mind which card it uses - though I had
hoped to run KDE or maybe compiz-fusion so it would be good if the better
card is the one detected. The irony of this is that I played with FC8 a
few weeks before Christmas and it couldn't detect the onboard graphics of
that machine (different from this) so I deliberately bought the 8400
thinking it was more likely to be detected by the installer. Now it seems
my best shot may be to use the onboard!!!
Lastly - Sean asked which mobo I have and it's WinFast mcp61pm2ma
xorg.0.log and xorg.conf files follow
Cheers
Rob
