| | Has anyone got Fedora Core 5 running under Microsoft’s Virtual PC? I have been using http://vpc.visualwin.com/ as a reference which says it is possible. I lowered my RAM to 624 MB and finally got the installation to work. My problem now is when it start up the login screen is very distorted. I suspect a bad video card driver but I have no idea on how to change it.
P.S. I know this is not directly related to this group but I figured this was the best place. |

I had the same problem with vmware workstation and Mandrake 10, Mandrake 9.2 had the same problem, I had to go back to mandrake 9.1 in order to have a correct screen. Exactly as if the emulator could emulate device for old drivers, and was unable to work correctly for the new video drivers.

Try configuring Xorg to use Vesa Framebuffer. Not as fast as the optimised driver, but an excellent failsafe.

I haven't done it with FC5, but I have done it with SuSE 10. Personally, if I were you, turn down your virtual RAM for that virtual PC. Perhaps there isn't enough RAM left for your video card? I'm not exactly sure how RAM for video cards works (I'm a network expert. My friends come to me more or less for networking issues than anything else). But I'd take the RAM down to like 512 MB or something like that. [N]F

Since I am below a newbie on Linux, how would one do this from the command line?

Fedora 10 Hits An Update Snag
(8) For those who have been wondering about my slight absence from the forum, I've had, to be blunt,
a catastrophic meltdown of all things vaguely useful on my PC at the end of the last week.
Everything went down the drain, leaving me with no choice other than completely starting from
scratch with a new OS installation. Being at university means my Windows XP discs were back home,
so installing Windows is, for now, out of the question. Instead I decided to give this here
Linux-malarky a go and, using someone else's computer, got hold of Fedora 10. Installing it was ....
Strange Error When Trying To Install Fedora Core 9
(6) Hi all, I tried to install Fedora Core 9 in a VmWare virtual machine under WinXP. I downloaded the
DVD ISO image and proceeded with the installation. When the process was started since about a
minute, the following error did show: "The file evince-2.22.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm cannot be opened.
This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media" Fine, I told to myself,
let's download the ISO image again, this time from a different server, just in case. No joy,
same error. Tried another couple of times, each one using a different server for the download. Sa....
Setting Up Fedora Core For Web Hosting
Not as easy as you might think! (0) On several occasions, I have attempted to install Linux on my computer in a dual boot format to
learn how to use Linux and more importantly, learn how to set up a web server. In the past, I have
installed a couple of versions of Red Hat, Unbuntu, Gentoox, GoblinX, and now a couple of versions
of Fedora Core. The only thing all of these have in common is that installation is problematic at
best. While most distributions of Linux include all the required software to set up a server, I
have never been able to realy get it done. Finding where Apache's configuration....

Fedora Core 4: A New User's First Impressions

What I'm focusing on here is Fedoracore 4 Linux, i386. Installing I must say that it was a

need. Many people told me that they doesn't run Unix based operating systems because they will

operating system from a Unix box. The first one is to use an emulator (such as Wine for runi....
