Hi All,
I have been trying to load a fresh install of R5D1 with some hardware changes to bring the comp up to date so i can play my fravoute games (ut2004)
however after the cd install and reboot to the first config script and the screen goes blank after the GDM starts. its not the new graphics card or motherboard since i can get to level 5 off the cdrom menu command line. all graphic card ports are working so i guess its the X11
appologies in advance if i have the wrong forum and of course here comes the file paste from the .xsession-errors on the ramdisk if its relevent.
here's the start:-

CPU:- 754 Sempron 2600+ -> 939 Althlon64 3500+
Mb:- Asus K8U-X (ULI) -> MSI K8N Neo4 (Nforce4)
NVcard:- POV Geforce 6200 -> Gigabyte 7300GT
Hope all of this helps
