======== Just drop down to "init 3" to run sax2! Whether you have or had the ATI drivers installed, you should still be able to configure the video. A lot of times having a buggy/bad xorg.conf will prevent sax2 from starting, so rename/delete the old file, then run sax2 or just try the below first. You may have to use "sax2 -r -m 0=radeon", which will start from scratch using the xorg radeon module. ctrl-alt-F1 login as root init 3 sax2 -r -m 0=radeon (be sure to test your settings before exiting sax2) init 5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
