you can try any of these (but I am not sure about the output) 1) open your XFree.... file and find out the line *driver=vga* and change vga to vesa. 2) my system is based on Pentium 233 MHz & OS is Debian Woody. I had problem to play the MIDI files, since it cracked the sound. but MP3 /.wav had no prob. then I compiled the kernel & set the processor according to my system. now everything is going fine. [and It has become my habit to always compile the kernel for a new installation ]. that's why I can tell you to compile your kernel based on your system ( set the processor to the cyrix model you have ) to check if it would help you or not. > > One clue... knoppix from CD and also HDD works fine. > > Thanks in advance, > > K.Ghosh -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
