i reccomend starting X using: startx >&X.log
then look at X.log to see what it says ..maybe you set the wrong section of XF86Config to use 32bit (some XF86Config files have many different display sections to set color depth). since your using xdm i suggest stopping it first(close all your X apps then do /etc/init.d/xdm stop). i have the best luck in 16bit color..and stick to it even on my fastest machines. ..course i also cant tell the difference between a 96kbps mp3 and a 128kbps or 196kbps ... :) nate Jonathan Gift wrote: > > Hi, > > I've set up XF86Config to run at 32 bits, which my ATI Xpert&Play 98 > accepts in W98SE.
