- check out the hardware comptatibility list - try to startup with a different resolution, by example after putting the install CD in type : linux resolution=1024x768 or something like that. - You can send a support email to RedHat if you purchased your package.

I tried to configure it manually...but i wont let me.... when it does a "ddcprobe" for my monitor... it displays that the test generated Bogus Values...it cannot probe for the monitor and throws it out as an unknown monitor... I want to configure the refresh rate manually but when it disables the GUI mode and starts in text mode it asks me for a login which I did not get an option to create...so I cant login in to Red Hat at all...I dont know what to do after that....HELP!

First, look at http://www.linux-laptop.net/ for specifics on your particular laptop - most likely someone has already figured out all of the tweaks necessary for your laptop model. Second, most laptop LCD displays I have ever seen operate at 60 Hz, so try that for starters if you have to discover the proper settings on your own.

You would have given a password for root during setup. You can log in with that. You will need to know root's password anyway if you are modifying X.
