Fedora Core x86_64

[purujitb]

hi,

I have a p4 3.0ghz EMT64 ,512m ram.

I recently tried to install fc6 x86_64 on my pc ... everything went fine but after restart before the first time login area the screen goes blank whereas the x86 works fine.

I have checked the dvd too it showed no error.

please help

oh.. But than how did the normal 32bit version work.. can there be a diff btwn the two recognising the onboard gfx??

 

[purujitb]

there was no problem while installing both the versions and the x86_64 also loads all the services (the gui part...like setting hostname and all that) even the first time config is displayed but then blank

Try switching to virtual terminal 2 by pressing ctrl+alt+F2, it may require you to log in. Log in as root and give the following command

system-config-display

Then

/etc/init.d/gdm restart

if this command doesn't work then try replacing gdm with kdm and see if that works.

^^ system-config- wont work without X(display).so try some other cmd like xorgconfig etc,OR pls author post what is ur Display which board etc
