As root run pppconfig and create a provider profile by answering the questions about the phone number to dial, the serial port to use, etc. Assuming that you named your provider 'abc', you get online by typing pon abc on the command line. To proceed with the rest of the installation use the command dselect and go through the numbered menu items in sequence. After leaving dselect, get offline with the command poff FGL

The original poster had that resolution. Mine was this. I'm the original poster. I have an ATI card and I found in the XFree86 v4 documentation for it an note explaining that the dot clock had been artificially limited to 80MHz for this release and that the limitation will be removed in a future version.

Upgraded X to 4.1: Lost 1280x1024 mode
I've just upgraded from potato to woody, including X from 3.3 to 4.1. As a result, I've lost the 1280x1024 mode that I've been using for years. I have an ATI Graphics Pro Turbo card (Mach64 chip). In its printed manual, a 1280x1024 mode is documented with a refresh rate of 60Hz, a horizontal frequency of 63.9kHz and a pixel clock of 110MHz. In X 3.3, the output of startx would say (--) Mach64: PCI: Mach64 GX rev 1, Aperture @ 0xf000, Sparse I/O @ 0x02ec (--) Mach64: Card type: PCI (--) Mach64: Memory type: 6 (--) Mach64: Clock type: ATI18818-1/ICS2595 (--) Mach64: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 135.000 MHz (**) Mach64: Mode "1280x1024": mode clock = 110.000 In X 4.1, it says (II) ATI(0): Clock range: 9.00 to 80.00 MHz (II) ATI(0): Not using mode "1280x1024" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) Does anybody know how can I convince X to use the mode I've been using for a long time?

This is typically because of interference with gpm. Make sure that the gpm protocol is imps2 also and use /dev/gpmdata as your X mouse device. FGL
