My usual approaches in such cases: 1. (as proposed by another poster) try KNOPPIX 2. even more often, I resort to su cd /root/ XFree86 -configure and then follow the last line of that screen output (XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new) I'm writing this as far as my memory is correct; so no guarantees ! Usually, this never brings the final config, but serves as starting point: Does it recognize the hardware ? And then the XFConfig can be tuned ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
