Hi, I don't know if this belongs on the Vallhalla or Xfree86 lists but figured this'd be a good place to start.
I've just installed Redhat 7.3 on a new Athlon Thunderbird on an Asus A7N266-VM board, with onboard Geforce 2MX, LAN etc. I've managed to get RH installed and booting fine, now X is giving me trouble. I've followed the instructions to install the appropriate Nvidia drivers from RPMs... NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0246.rh73up_2.4.18_3 NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.rh73up NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123 and edited XF86Config-4 accordingly. Running startx initialises X and then I get the RH spash screen saying it's starting the various GNOME services, then this vanishes, I get the grey taskbar and the box hangs and has to be hard reset. Running prefdm and trying to login to a KDE session does the same thing. If I login using Failsafe (TWM?) though, that's fine, implying that X itself isn't the problem, it's something GNOME/KDE specific. I see the same problem wether running at 1600x1200x24bit or 640x480x8bit. I seem to remember seeing a post somewhere when I was searching for the solution to a problem with grub throwing "error 28"s (resolved by just sticking with LILO) that someone else had experienced similar X problems and traced the errors to KDE/GNOME running some startup sripts/apps that tried to do something power management related. I've had a look but I can't see anything obvious. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
