Got Debian installed on the machines at work :) X Windows runs fine: as does command line text mode _provided_ you boot from a rescue disk in single user mode or otherwise prevent X Windows from running.
Once X has run: the console is hosed: scan Text appears to overscan as the scan rate is set too high and you also get m ss ng characters and $ prompts in the wrong place X Server is the "old S3V": card is an embedded Compaq S3 Virge/GX This is _apparently_ a common problem: no one else I know has managed to get this working. I want my six VT's back !! Any clues ?? Andy
