I don't have any experience with your card, but you have basically two possibilities: a) configure X to use the "right" settings, whatever that means. Play around with the flags, or b) (the brute-force-approach) use `runx' to start X: $cat /usr/bin/runx # Script to save VGA textmode font, run X, and restore VGA textmode font. # A more rigorous alternative is to run the 'savetextmode' script before # running X, and 'textmode' after. This will restore the textmode registers # and the VGA palette in addition to the VGA font. echo Saving font in /tmp/fontdata restorefont -w /tmp/fontdata startx echo Restoring font from /tmp/fontdata restorefont -r /tmp/fontdata Hope it helps.
