Daniel,
Perhaps you can offer me some tips. I too have a Dell Inspiron D266XT, and
I've been trying to no avail to get RedHat Linux 5.1 loaded. My installation
hangs towards the beginning of the installation. Can you reproduce the steps
you took to install, if it's not too much trouble? I've run out of things to
try.
Thanks,
John

Subject: help with X needed
hello
yesterday i did install linux, redhat linux 5.1, for the very first
time on my computer - a Inspiron 3200 D266XT. as a very, very beginner i
was soon confrontated with some problems. the x window system.
after installation ...
(1) i did install the rpm package for the XBF_NeoMagic server
using $ rpm -vh XBF-neomagic-glibc-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
(2) then i (root) created
ln -sf ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XBF_NeoMagic /etc/X11/X
(3) cp'ed the /etc/X11/XF86Config.neomagic to /etc/X11/XF86Config
(4) and deleted the "Subsection Display" through "EndSubsection" in
XF86Config for all the displays I didnt want to use (tip Ryan
Faussett)
(5) starting $ startx still brings up X in 320x200 (something like
that)
please can anybody give me some advise how to set it up properly. i know
i don'd contribute to the mailinglist at all by asking this 'common
sense' questions, but i am a very very beginner who really needs a lot
of help.
thanks
Daniel
