Dear List
I tried to install Linux on my computer and though I am not a total
newbie to computers, I am one when it comes to Linux and that is the
main reason that I joined the list, over the last few months I have seen
a lot of people finding solutions to their problems and I hope that you
too can send me a solution to my problem. The specifications are located
in this mail along with the error file that was generated.
The problem is as follows, though Linux is running well the problem is
with X in which there appears to be some sort of a problem with the
Display Card or the Monitor. Now I am going to leave you with all the
details and hope that you can come up with something soon enough.
Here is the error file that was generated
XFree86 Version 3.3.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: August 4 1997
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems.
