Well, it might be helpfull when you send the error log and the config file to the list. than we might be able to help.
The errorlog can be found at : /var/log/XFree86.0.log
and the config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config or XF86Config-4 (This location me differ with other distros, you might have to look around a while!)
Then try again!

Please tell me if I made something wrong.My machine is an old IBM PC-100 486DX100 with built-in Cirrus Logix 5430 1MB video.I have these several question s:1. When I execute XF86Setup, I can see graphics, make my mouse and keyboard work, choose the CL543x chipset, uses a paper white 14" monitor. But when I execute startx, it doesn't get me into a graphical mode and instead gives me an error which I can't read coz its way above the screen and scrolls off.2. During installation, I installed KDE but how do I load this during startup?3. How can I get back to the installation screen where I choose options for installation?Well, added to the above, what I would like my box to do is make it a web server, an internet gateway to my LAN, an email server, an FTP server, File server, Print server (HP1100), etc.Hope anybody out there can help me out.Jojo W.
