- Hi,
- #include "pat.on.back.for.linus"
- I've been tinkering with getting X11 to work with my setup
- (50 MHz 486 with an Tseng Labs ET4000 card and a tatung multi scanning
- monitor) and for ages was unable to get a stable picture in any of the
- modes that the various resources had told me should work. Then
- completely by accident I tried to start X11 after I had selected one of
- the SVGA text modes at boot time (100x40) and It worked perfectly. Can
- anyone out there give me a vague idea of why this is so. If more
- details are required mail me and I'll supply what's needed.
-
- Thanks in advance to whomever decides to help.
