The error message 'no screens found' is given and the OS remains in the shell. My system hardware is: - Compaq Presario with Pentium D - 512 MB ram - 200GB drive - ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 graphics controller - NEC 1740CX multisync monitor I have tried all the usable resolution settings with the usable horizontal-vertical sync. range of the monitor. All resolutions fail and I get the same error message: 'no screens found'. Also, the installation process fails to provide: - an entry for the ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 card - an entry for the NEC 1740CXm monitor >How-To-Repeat: - With a system the same as reported above and version 5.2.1 follow a Standard install. When asked, install XFree86 and try any of the usable resolutions. Use the default graphics card entry of 'ati' when asked for a card. Boot the machine and after login type: 'startx' >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
