Try ripping out the video card and install a 'generic' vga card that is supported by Caldera. I've run into this problem with Caldera on at least 4 different machines, but mine just happen to 'ancient' computers, all circuits at least 5 years old. Frustrating as all get-out. Lizard is Caldera's own worst enemy, IMO. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
