- I have a ViewSonic 6E, and a Paradise 512K Vga
- card and have been having a real problem with
- my Xconfig settings getting X to run. When I
- run startx, X will start up and after a bit
- I'll get a screen but it flickers very badly
- and it looks sort of like those TV's where the
- antennas are way out of wack. I can see the
- mouse and move it around, but no xterm's come
- up so eventually I escape with C-Alt-Backspc.
-
- I get the following information back
- from the stats displayed when I run startx:
-
- Driver: pvga1
- Clocks: 25 28 0 0 0 0 0 0
-
- I'm using the standard VESA setting for 640x480x256
- but no matter what I change on these I still have the
- same screen problem. X is working, but it appears
- that my settings are off. Anyone have an ideas,
- pointers?
-
- Thanks!
