I just installed linux for the first time and booted the computer up. Then it got me into the non-interactive startup. So I typed in startx but it give me an error "no screens found". I have read on other forums and it most likely caused by my graphic card. My card is Radeon x850xt and I don't know how to config so that it will work. If anyone can help I would be thankful. I will continue searching for an answer to that problem.
What does it say in the prompt, on your left? What I want to know is which prompt you're in, the linux shell or a boot loader prompt.
in command line mode, edit xorg.conf file and change video Driver to "vesa".Quote:

what he said, in case you were confused, is to make sure the "X" is an "X" and not an "x".
