Hi, I'm having problems trying to get x setup. I loaded the default xdm and twm and the gnome stuff on install. Since then I installed gdm. I'm currently using helix gnome on another box that is identical but running SuSE 6.4. I like this okay and I think it is using sawfish for window manager?
Here is some info. xviddetect reporte The XFree86 server for S3 Inc. VirGE/MX is s3v. I tried this one and had no luck so I'm currently try XF86_SVGA so I did an apt-get install xserver-svga. I'm running potato r2 with xfree 3.3.6-11potato15 Here is the output from the startx script. Any help would be appreciated. Eric :-) XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 8 2000 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
