RedHat Linux GUI Issues

hi all

i have installed Windows 7 first. then i installed linux on dual partations...

i am booting both of them through dual boot... but when i start linux its only working well with CUI, when i used commands like startx or changed the initd to 5 then its loading the GUI interface of RedHat Linux but its not visible clearly...
after reading some forums i tried to change the resolution settings... but its not working, my GUI of windows 7 is booting well...

awaiting reply...

thanks in advance...

Regards,
Nikhil Dethe

You may need to install graphics drivers for your system. You have given no details of hardware model or type.

You can not compare windows & linux, here. Can you give some details about the hardware you have? Specify the cpu & RAM.

and also tell us the graphics card or chip you have.

Also how did you try to edit the resolution?

What do you mean by 'not clear at all'?

Stretched?

Flickery?

On fire?

Everything is a tiny square in the middle of the screen?

Your laptop doesn't have a driver for graphics for Windows either. I think he's complaining about resolution. What model laptop is this?
