Please Help!

Installed Linux today on my VISTA PC. By using Microsofts virtual PC. At the end of the installation it could not recognize my graphics card on screen resolution. I tried to change it to my card since i saw it in the list. Now on launching I get a larger black screen with faint writing on it and flashing. I'm so new to Linux that I just don't know what to do. I need step by step instructions as this was suppose to be a learning experience for me for a school project....and it did not last long!

FEDORA 9 is what I have installed

Radeon x300 series is my Graphics card.

 

thank you.


hi, you'd need to download the ati drivers for that card for fedora 9 and install them

 

cheers

Hi!

 

I'm trying to install FEDORA 9 on my computer but I have some problem at starting the Virtual PC 2007. Had you specified some parameter at the kernel sturtup line

?

 

Thanks, Mario
