how would i do that in the installation? Sorry, but I am a complete newbie to Linux so i really don't know how to do much. Also, It sounds like you meant to do it in the graphical installation. This is impossible because the computer freezes after the Redhat logo screen appears at the beginning.? ----- Original Message ----- From: Nitebirdz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 2:21 AM Subject: Re: Graphical Installation/ X Windows Start causes computer to freeze(RH 6.2) > On Mon, 14 Aug 2000, CamouflageTZ wrote: > > > > > When I try to install RH Linux 6.2 with the graphical installer, the installer loads to the RedHat splash screen, then it freezes to a white, grey, or distorted screen with part of a window repeated. I believe this is a conflict/compatibility issue with my video card. My video card hardware is as follows: Card- Trident Video-97 AGP (v6.45.5423b.98 Manufacturer- Jaton Corporation Chipset- 3DImage 985 DAC Type- Trident Built-In Memory- 4MB DirectDraw 1.00 Software version- 4.0 Refresh Rate- Optimal > > The same thing also happens when i try to load X Windows after successfully installing under Text mode (GNOME).

They told me that the card is supported and to try installing with the Anaconda updates. When i tried this it also did not work. I also have a Creative Dxr2 DVD mpeg decoder card installed on my system. I once had a IRQ conflict with the card and my video card so I thought that it may be causing the problems. Support said it could definitly be the source of the problem, so I took out the card and tried the installation. It still did not work. I gave up with support there. What could be causing this problem?
