Hi all, I am trying to install linux on an IBM box, it needs samba, postfix and other stuff and I'd like a basic GUI, so that the non techie guys can still do basic admin stuff...
I have everything but the GUI working.. The box uses a S3 savage card that X doesn't seem to recognise.. however framebuffer seems to work just fine. (or at least it did during install) So my question is this.. if I can't get the savage card working in X, I'd like to get X working in FB... how do I go about doing that? I have Aurora installed and working fine, and that relies on FB doesn't it? Currently I have XFree86-4.1.0-17mdk and all its dependencies installed, but I can't get any soft of display.. If I try, the box locks up completely and nothing works but reset. (couldn't even ping the box over the network.) Can anyone give me some pointers or a page with a howto for setting up X using framebuffer? rgds Frank
