[rhn-users] FW: Xconfigurator and X problems on RH 7.1

[Faruk Vahora]

Replace your Video card with known supported video card. Also, try to
configure mouse using "mouseconfig"
and select generic PS2. You need to know your hardware details and if they
are not supported, good luck finding
right drivers.

I'm having difficulty configuring my old RH 7.1 machine to run X on an even
older monitor (Gateway Crystalscan 700).  When I run Xconfigurator, it
crashes out trying to configure the mouse:

   Xconfigurator: line 5 unexpected in /etc/sysconfig/mouse

although I don't see anything unusual about that line (DEVICE=/dev/mouse)

Also, when I run startx the monitor goes blank, and then into standby mode.
I tried to hard-code the XF86Config file to match the monitor's refresh
rates, but it didn't seem to work.

I've hooked this Linux box up to various different monitors (albeit newer
ones than the present one) over the past 3 years, and have never
encountered this.  If anyone else has had this problem and knows a good way
around it, I would appreciate the help.  Thanks!
