I have just installed Fedora Core 1 on an old HP NetServer. However I
can't get the X server to start. The server has an onboard video card,
I don't know what. My monotor is an ADI Microscan 4v. Running
redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig -v
produces:
* dccprobe returned bogus values:
ID: None
Name: None
HorizSync: None
VertSync: None
Trying with card: VESA driver (generic)
Writing temporary config file to /tmp/@1806.0xf86config
