OK, I now seem to be making some progress, although not quite enough. Following advice received on this list, I have used "lspci" to get the bus id of the video card, and then by running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" a few times, I have managed to get x-windows to start in 300x200 mode, using the vga driver.

"Might not be as good" is a bit of an understatement. The log-in window is larger than my screen, and I am too much of a newbie at this to have even figured out how to go back to the bash prompt. (I'll have to figure that out before I attempt to change anything else). The output from "startx" (before I got it working) shows the video card as having been detected as an s3 Trio32/64 (which is what Windows detects). I have tried manually editing the /etc/X11/XConfig file to use the "s3" driver, but apparently no such driver exists. Is "s3" not the correct name of the driver, or do I have to manually install it first? (I am using Woody 3.0 r1, default boot flavour) Thankyou.
