I'm not sure where to start here. I am trying to install FC6 on my home
computer that is probably 5 years old. It was running FC3 without any
major problems (it was slow).
But, X windows won't start:
If I choose graphical install, it just hangs and does nothing. (shows a
splash screen, but won't respond).
I did a text install and the install seemed to go fine but when I "startx"
or choose runlevel 5 X won't start.
I'm not sure where to start. I believe my graphics card is a:
3dfx, voodoo 3
I read that there we nvidia card issues and I did:
yum install kmod-nvidia
Not surprisingly, that didn't help any.
I'm going to try to install FC5 and see if thats works but if someone had
an idea for me I would be very grateful.
