Wow guys/gals. Thanks a MILLION for your help. The little parameter in vga=791 in lilo.conf did the trick. You could not imagine the rush!!!!!! Thanks to all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Subject: Re: [expert] Context of this list Thanks for such a prompt reply. I'm right now triying to find the framebuffer option in make->menuconfig but I see that the frame buffer options are already selected for my current kernel. (the one installed by default by Mandrake 8) just by setting vga=791 activates the frame buffer support ?? or perhaps could you expand a little on what vga=791 means.

It happens with several different SiS 630 notebooks and it appears to be their hardware configuration. The dodge we employ is to install the framebuffer kernel during install, then set up lilo.conf with vga=791 And boot with framebuffer, even if Aurora is disabled. At THAT point, you can start X quite mormally. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
