X does a good job of scanning that bus, and unless you have a separate video card, don't bother putting anything there. > Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the X to run? > Or probably at least what I could probably to to find out, what to do? > > I'd be really happy about any help! > Thanks > Sancho Fock > simon > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
