Hi everybody,
I may have found an installation bug. I tried installing LM8.1 on a Lifebook
656Tx and everything went well (expert install, etc) until I get to set up
X. It does find the right card, I get the usual resolution (800x600) and
16bpp. It worked flawlessly on LM7.2 and 8.0. But now, after rebooting I get a
test console. I DID tell DrakX to start X at every boot, I also did reconfigure
with XFdrake and still it didn't change. I tried at least ten resolution/bpp
modes (mostly with 4.1.0 but also sometimes with 3.3.6), everytime telling
XFdrake to start X at boot. I checked the inittab file and there is runlevel 5
set as default. I looked for a /var/log/X***** file and there is nothing.
Weird thing No.1:  after it finishes booting and I get to the text console, it
doesn't make the typical screen movements while trying to load the X-server,
nothing. Weird thing No.2: if I log in and type startx, it works perfectly. So
that can't be an X-server problem. I tried installing LM7.2 (I don't have
8.0 CDs anymore) and the graphical login worked again, so it can't be a
hardware problem. 
I'm sorry for being little bit off topic, but I think only you guys may know
the answer. Some details:
Neomagic MagicGraph 128ZV (NM2093) graphic card
Pentium MMX 150 MHz
Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Marcio Cordero
