Description of problem: I have no prior experience in Linux. I am using HP XW4400 Workstation, graphic card is Nvidia Quadro550 (PCIe card). I am trying to install Linux OS. I installed DISC 1~3 of FC6 ISO image files, as per instructed. Everything went smoothly. The next step is to "reboot". During this reboot phase, the GNU GRUB version 0.97 was executing the system checks. I could see "Starting udev", before the LCD monitor went blank and showed me this error message - "CANNOT DISPLAY THIS VIDEO MODE, CHANGE COMPUTER DISPLAY INPUT TO 1024X768@60Hz". I hardware reset my PC. At the GRUB page, I added "3" at the end of this line as follows: grub edit> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quite 3 Then I boot my PC. the system check shows more details now. then it reaches the command line - localhost login & password; which i entered my password. At [root@localhost ~]#, I entered "init 3" - this brought me to the Setup Agent text page. Then I returned to [root@localhost ~]#, I entered "init 5" , it shows me blank screen with the same error message "- "CANNOT DISPLAY THIS VIDEO MODE, CHANGE COMPUTER DISPLAY INPUT TO 1024X768@60Hz". I was told that it could be videocard compatibility issue. I tried with more than 1 LCD & CRT PC monitor. I read the HP & Nvidia websites but I could not find a solution. I downloaded a HP Driver for Linux ISO image file and Graphic Driver Update file (nvidia-9746- 1.0.i386.rpm), but I do not know how to use them. WOuld you guys kindly advise me how I should resolve this problem? Looking forward to your good advice as I have to setup Linux platform to support my Mass storage requirement for my customer.
