card
Optiquest V773 Monitor
(17")
I am currently running WinLinux
2000. Here is how it is set up:
Linux Version:
2.2.13
Architecture:
i686
Object Format =
ELF
libc Version = 6.1.2
(6.1)
KDE 1.1.2
(it says on the winlinux cd
that I have glibc2.1 but when I ran the xinstall.bin it gave me libc
6.1.2... are glibc and libc the same thing???)
Right now it will boot all the
way to "Starting the KDE Desktop Enviornment", then the screen goes blank.
I have tried several drivers provided by WinLinux (on the disk), at all
resolutions (high and low), and also with "no_accel" typed in the config
file. The same thing happens no matter what driver/res/accel I have it
on. I have upgraded to XFree86 3.3.6 already, but that didn't seem to do
much good either, so I'm hoping that an upgrade to XFree86 4.1.0 will do some
good.
I ran the xinstall.bin -check
(as you can see above) and I went into the FTP site to see if I could find the
binary version for (libc version 6.1) but I was only seeing the binaries for
libc5. Will the libc 5 binaries work? / Or to I need to find the 6.1
version somewhere? Or, if you know any tricks to get my KDE to show up on
my monitor instead of just a blank screen, I would be extremely grateful.
I would love to start switching over to Linux because I'm getting sick of the
little tricks that Microsoft is trying to pull. Once I'm half way
proficient with Linux, I will cut over completely... but (till then) I need all
the help I can get!
Thank you very much for your
help!!
