my system specs are:

SVGA monitor 640x480,

(as I think the problem is with my monitor).

If this is an idiot question I apologise in advance. Thanks for any help.

Newbie-Gray screen with startx-Redhat 5.1

I am very new to Linux, the Redhat 5.1  installation from Que seemed clean
and straightforward.  Install picked up the PS2 (MS IntelliMouse), NIC, also
had correct selection of Video Equipment: Optiquest V95 and STB Velocity
128.   My processor is a PII400 Intel 440bx chipset 128 MB SDRAM.

The first install I made sure that X-Windows was selected and the color
depth was automatically determined.  When I try to start x I hang with just
a dark gray screen, no crunching of the HDD (waited about 10 min. nothing)

The second install I set up the color depth myself and selected the no
chipset standard.  The same thing happened.

Suggestions ?

Thank you for your time
Jason
