OEL 5.4 won't display install GUI although 4.x does

9984Dec 13 2009 — edited Dec 13 2009
I have a Dell desktop that I had OEL 4.x installed on, and I recently installed RHEL 5 on it. However, in trying to install OEL 5.4 I see where on the startup it probes the integrated display and tries to start the X server and then the screen goes blank. The same DVD will load fine on my laptop. It appears that Oracle made some X changes or something relating to the display mechanism from OEL 4.x to 5.x. Arrrrgh. One of the real aggravations in the Linux world.

Any suggestions other than adding a non-integrated video adapter? This machine has loaded XP and Windows 7 fine, as well as RHEL 5 with no problems.

Any reason I would not want to stay with OEL 4 using 11g?

Thanks.
Bob

HTTPClient usage: http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/tutorial.html

Make sure you have javax.xml.*; (which you should have)

Then import the Yahoo .java files.

P.s. I'm using JDeveloper.

Eventually I discovered that the only problem was that I was using httpclient-4 instead of httpclient-3. I would think that a newer version should be able to run at least the code which could be run in previous versions. That is why it still surprises me. Any explanation?
