I just finished installing Linux on my server and installed Samba and a bunch of other programs and when I went to reboot the server and it tried to boot back into gnome... It just goes to the
'localhost login:' text screen then it (normally boots into the gnome login screen) but now it just flashes the command line screen then goes black... flashes then goes black... etc...

I ran the rescue disk and booted into command line... The I got into /etc/X11 and my XF86Config looked like this...

Identifier "Monitor0"
VenderName "Monitor Vender"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
HorizSync 31.5-48.5
VertRefresh 50-70
Option "dpms"

EndSection

Then under Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Trident CyberBlade(generic)"
DefaultDepth 16

Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection

EndSection

Okay... I moved my cursor into the "Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" " line... Then I deleted everything so that the only thing that was left was (Modes "640x480")

I've changed the depth's from 16 to 4 and it still doesn't make a difference. It does the same thing... Please help...

Thanks
-Andy

Are you sure the V and H sync are right? If they are wrong, your monitor wont work.
