    cannot boot in init level 5

    I just did a full install of CentOS server 4.7 on a new Dell Vostro 220. The install went smoothly, but I am unable to boot in graphics mode (init level 5).

    When I try running startx from the command line, I get a blank screen for a few seconds, and then startx fails with the warning:
    vesa failed to set up write-combining range
    I've googled and googled but have been unable to come up with a solution. Any idea what the matter could be?

    Post the output of this
    Code:
    su -
    lspci | grep -i vga
    grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
