Hi all! It' the first time I'm using Linux on my beige G3/266mhz/128MB. I installed base, XF86, and Gnome packages off the CD I burned. I went through the configuration process Debian sent me through. Okay, so I have my root password set up, entered a bunch of numbers into the configuration tool that asked me for some video/monitor information, and I had it autodetect my video card and audio.
Okay, everything seemed all good and dandy. I did a bunch of stuff like add users and passwords into my system. I entered the command startx to start up X Window and the screen turned all white and had the X looking pointed in the center of the screen. I've been accustomed to my friends system start up xterm when I go into X Window. Now, I decide to move the mouse and I suddenly see black text on the white screen. It's text from when I was in BASH. I started to curse at my computer and then I realized that the pointed was leaving trails of 'X's all over my screen when i moved the mouse. I tried to Command F2 to get into another screen but I was unable to. I then did a three finger salute (backspace, control, and command) but X server just wouldn't quit on me. So now, I am here at this user list. :) Can anyone help me? Oh, here is more info on my computer. Video card- Apple/ATI Rage Pro 6MB Monitor- Multi scan 15" (Small. I know. My 17" monitor died a few months ago.) Oh and one more unrelated question. What's the device name for the modem on a Mac? When I boot Linux up, it tells me it's on tty00. Is this correct because when I try to log on to my ISP, Linux tells me that there is no modem at tty00. The modem does work on the Mac side of my computer. Oh and the modem is an Apple/GV 56k modem. Thanks in advance for the help. peace, --markemmanuel __________t_h_e__c_h_i_c_a_g_o__m_u_s_i_c__p_r_o_j_e_c_t__. at http://www.chicago-music.com Mark Emmanuel F.
