hi, i missed the original post on the VIA mb--mdk8.1 problem. anyway, mandrake has a new savage4 driver at their errata page. download it from there - there is also an instruction on how to replace your old driver.
if you can't initially start your savage4, choose the old xfree (3.3.6) when prompted which one you want to use (4.1 or 3.3.6) - that will allow you to start your system. then install the new driver and switch to xfree4.1 i encountered the same problem on an all-in-one via board and was using xfree3.3.6 for a while until i got the new driver. hth willie On Monday 25 February 2002 09:15, Beng Asuncion wrote: > Hi > > You can try to use XFdrake to reconfigure X. > > #XFdrake --expert > > Also, if your video card doesnt support framebuffers, its better to > boot your system with "non-fb" parameter.
