Hi everybody, I am a newbie to Linux. I have a problem. I had Win 2K Pro installed on my PC. When I got Red Hat Linux 8.0 installed on it, the it showed "Unsupported VGA card", but the rest of the installation went fine. Now, I can log in to Linux, and only the command line is seen. When I enter the "startx" command, it gives some big error. I have an ASUS P4SDR-VM motherboard with onboard VGA. Probably it is not supported by Red Hat. What do I do to get KDE/GNOME desktops working ? What exactly should I look for - is it the display drivers or RPMs ? Can I get anything from www.kernel.org ? Somebody told me that nVidia's nForce or gForce drivers should work for ASUS motherboard. Is that true ? In ASUS's website, I can see display drivers for download, for Red Hat Linux 7.3. Will those also work for 8.0 ? Are the display drivers specific to the motherboard make, or the Linux distro and version ? I am quite confused and would really appreciate a detailed reply. Thanking you all in anticipation.
