I am currently having a display problem on my laptop since I've installed Linux RedHat (Shrike). I have an ext3 partition set up for my Linux operating system, but my primary is still Windows XP. When I dual boot, and then go into Linux, the standard checklist comes up( [ [color=green]OK[/color] ] ), but one it tries to initialize the Linux GUI, the screen messes up (it turns into a purple double helix-type thing). If I attach an external monitor, everything works perfect. Since I am new to Linux, I was wondering if someone could help me out. My laptop is the Toshiba M30-YSJ (from Canada), but I think that the display is the same as the American M-30 and M35 series. The lappy also has a GeForce FX 5200. Please ask family members and friends if they might know! It will help me out very much :) . Thanks for any thoughts,
