- I posted a few days ago about a problem I was having with
- the X distribution in SLS .98pl5. I have installed the
- entire SLS dist, with Xfree861.0 and the correct Xconfig for
- a trident SVGA. The Xserver hangs right after it switches into
- the graphics mode. I worked on trying to debug this problem
- for quite some time. I upgraded the Xfree86 to 1.1 and still
- had the same problem.
- Just for the fun of it, I got the 0.98 bootimage
- and booted it. X ran fine. It seems that the X worked under
- .98pl0, but not under .98pl5. Under both, I ran X with the -pn
- option. It appears this is a problem with the PL5. I will try
- .99 tonight and see what I get.
