I upgraded to 4.1.x of Xfree86 which went over fine… Then I ran the xf86config and set everything back. I set the video card to Ati All in wonder, but I have a Radeon 64mb VIVO, which I thought was supported, but isn't in the list. Then I set my mouse to my mouse which is a Microsoft Intellimouse.
Now, after this, I rebooted then the color and depth was great, but the mouse was wacked out where it wasn't responding too well and the display was shifted to the right.
I looked to see how to fix this, but it says reconfigure xfree, so I tried by running it in fail-safe mode, which the terminal did not respond… How do I fix this and how do I get to a pure terminal where I can reconfigure this? How do you stop KDE from starting up?
I thought this Xfree had Radeon support, but I guess not. I just wanted a normal 2D environment with this card, and a 1024 x768 resolution with either 16-bit or 32-bit color would definitely make me a happy camper. Yes, I am a newbie to Linux, and I am surprised as hell that I got something installed under Linux (previous install tried hosed kernels before).
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you,
