Hi Anne,
first thing to do - is to not boot into X...
So - The Failsafe Option is a first part.
Just - at the Lilo prompt - give: init 3
in - it should start the system without X.
The Problem - is that you most probably need to start with an empty
XF86Config-4 file - as the XFDrake programm takes the old one as template
(It assumes - what you have in there works already ...)
So - move that file to your Home-Directory, make sure there is no mode
XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11, and start XFDrake again. It should do the trick.
Cheers
PS: Now lets get back to this &*^%$% of Compile to have the CLE266 Via
Driver compiled into XFree to have the Hush-PC working with a decent
X-Display driver ...
