PCI cards not found...
Okay, I'm not very experienced with linux... Here's my problem I have a Creative graphics blaster exxtreme, and a voodoo2. trying to run Xwindows. I found a XServer for the permedia2 chip on the exxtreme that specifically supports it, however when running startx I get ' NO GLINT/PERMEDIA CARDS FOUND' I also have no entry for /dev/pci... should I? I have onboard PCI IDE controller and such, as well as the two video cards. how do I get PCI support? I'm very frustrated at this point please help!

X windows blanks my monitor...
Setting up X windows, I have a problem. Anytime I run X -probeonly, my monitor goes blank, then the monitor's status LED changes to show that It's in standby or 'no-signal' mode. It doesn't seem to matter which X server I use to do this, unless I use XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria, (I'm running a Graphics Blaster Exxtreme), which reports the clocks for me. I can't actually USE the GLoria server, though, because it states 'no GLINT/PERMEDIA adapters found' Even when I use VGA16, with a Clocks line in there, it does it when running startx. please help! If you can tell me how to make GLoria 'see' my card, great, but just being able to run X will help. As far as gloria is concerned when I 'cat /proc/pci' I get the "3D Labs unknown device"... I know the PCI ID is 3D3D,9 but how I tell linux that is beyond me, or what I would put in there. Thanks much! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The juggernaught expands?
My father is a beta tester for Microsoft products. On his mailing list recently he recieved yet another call for testers. This one, however seemed out of place to him, so he called me about it. "Microsoft is seeking testers registered in our Beta Test program who are experienced in, and have access to, the Linux operating system (Redhat or Debian distributions preferred) and are able to run XFree86 reliably. Please respond to" Anyone heard of this yet? what are they testing? He responded, but it'll be a while before he hears anything [typically 3-4 weeks.] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
