Its graphics card is a RAGE Mobility-128 AGP 2X with 16MB RAM. The display is capable of showing 1600x1200 at 70Hz. The installation goes well until it comes time to configure XWindows. Regardless of the monitor I choose, the screen goes black, and the system locks up hard. I have to remove the battery to reboot the system. Any ideas on what may be wrong?
