It was indeed the Debian setup script that posed the problem, Ray. I think we tried just every combination of including/excluding any of the specific modules; doctored the X-configuration files etc. That was now some month ago (March/April); in the meantime I've thrown away most of the notes on all this. (Guarded the ones on the dubious video RAM entry: it's quite possible that the problem is there, as resolutions from a certain threshold on nay need sufficient video memory to allow for the corresponding mode-lines in the config.)
BTW, both Debian-3.0/Woody and Mandrake-8.2 used the generic "nv" driver. Thus the difference wasn't there either. We just couldn't find out where the glitch was with Debian. // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2003-09-05 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
