- HI,
- I can't for the life of me get X to run on my machine. I have
- tried everything, done the calcualtions, tried X386 kit. nothing
- seems to work.
- I have a VGA700 card, it uses the Tseng ET4000 chip set and
- supports HI-color. My monitor is a darius multisync up to 1024x768. No
- matter what settings I use, I get the X386 message then a blank screen
- nothing else. Update still runs in the background as the drive light
- goes on. I can reboot with ctrl-alt-delete.
- I have run out of ideas. the other hardware is 486/33, 16M
- ram, scsi adaptec 1542, serial mouse, mcc 0.96c, X11V1.1. Everything
- else works fine except this.
- This machine is identical in software to my other machine on
- which X works fine.
- Neal.
