After changing a monitor, my fedora 10 desktop fail to start into gui screen, it loads the loading bars then the screen goes black, when i enter into the command line and typed in startx any error messages: (EE) intel 0 No valid modes (EE) screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration Fatal errors: no screen found giving up xinit: No such file or directory (errno2) unable to connect to X Server xinit: No such process (errno3) server error and i also try system-config-display --reconfig and got an error couldn't start X server on card 0 error, failed to start X server. How would fix or repair this.
now display I would try the following : Xorg -configure This will create a new xorg.conf file in your home folder. try to start X with this file : X -config /home/username/xorg.conf.new If this works out, replace the xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ with the xorg.conf.new. Good luck
Thanks. Worked for me Thanks, igor_be. I have been grappling with a similar problem for a long time. The usual recommendation is to use system-config-display, but all I got was Code: Couldn't start X server on card 0 Couldn't start X server with old config, trying with a fresh configuration Couldn't start X server on card 0 Error, failed to start X server. However, I was unable to run Xorg -configure as an unprivileged user: Code: The '-configure' option can only be used by root. I ran it as root. I then tried (also as root): Code: X -config /home/username/xorg.conf.new That was equivocal but heartening. It looked a bit like it had worked but the only thing on the screen was a white outlined X on a black screen. When I moved the mouse, the X moved. I was unable to terminate this session. I had to go to another virtual console and kill X. I replaced /etc/X11/xorg.conf as explained. Then, as an unprivileged user, I invoked my usual incantantation for levitating my windows environment (olvwm) - and it worked! Thanks again, H
i have the same problem i got a black vnc screen when starting it but when using Xorg -configure i get Code: Xorg -configure _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/shreef.shreef.tk:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-53.el5 x86_64 Red Hat, Inc.

same problem here.. Do I get into the terminal mode when the X server error comes up? I tried doing this but when I type "service kdm stop" I get the message "kdm: unrecognized service" and the rest of the command doesn't work (Xorg:1 command not found etc) When I type the "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" I get a black screen with some buttons at the bottom Again thank you for your help!
I got the same error and I resolved it this way: 1. When the message about viewing the X server output came, I pressed Ctrl F2 2. Now on the new shell I ran command sudo Xorg -configure 3. Then I copied /home/oobe/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf sudo cp /home/oobe/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 4. At last I started X using command startx goo.gl/u8P6ME
