Display drivers for Linux

Vitumbiko Nkhwazi — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:40:08 GMT

I have just installed Fedora 9 on an HP DL380 G6 server, but the display is not good, i guess i need drivers for the Video card. Can anyone direct me to where i can download the driver from?

i have downloaded the psp, but when i try to install it, it brings the following error:

"The Linux O/S on this system cannot be identified
by the HP ProLiant Linux Deployment Utility.
Please check /etc/redhat-release for correctness.
Cannot continue. Exiting"

how do i resolve this?

Fedore is not supported by the PSP, nor does the PSP contain video drivers so that's pretty much a waste of time.

Set your X configuration to use the VESA driver and you should be good to go.

You can try using thr ATI driver, but the VESA driver will work
