Hmm, my first SuSE package had some 450 pages of documentation for the Shell and for xfree86 setup. meanwhile i have seen they have added several hundreds of pages more. just read the docu that your Linux distribution vendor provided to you. (Linux is a learning curve...) but here is the quistart for XF86 generic environments: - log in to the shell as root, - type 'xf86config" - answer the questions - save your results - type startx thats it. BTW, i would be keen on the outputs of "lspci -vvv -xxx" in order to know which PCI device/function IDs your grafics adapter does expose to the system. can you do that? maybe a backup of the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log would be further of interest in order to see where your failing setup really fails. posting it to the list would be likely to benefit anyone out there. -Alex. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
