My experience is that Ubuntu has better hardware detection, easier to configure.

I agree with Diz , but then I have to .
cant help with Fedora but video problems were why I switched from Slax to Ubuntu, Ive not had any problems since.

thats pretty good cause it didnt see my video card or monitor or even ask about my raid set up. also i didnt like the layout.

anyway the post was about the first topic, not Linux flovors......

AHHH the problem seems to be that my video card output is dvi, adapter cabled to a vesa lcd flat panel.. so i'm hand wrintting a new xorg.cong file because all is not lost yet. baha

maybe i should just get a dvi monitor?

MODS can close this thread anytime please.

thanx, ABD
